Paint your face and run around
Dance in silky satin gowns
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown
Oh you think you're safe and sound
But you know what I found
Base this lifetime on a lie
Which you then proceed to hide
Comes a time I can't deci-hide
But don't you open up your eyes
To think it's time that you tried to see
Your masquerade
And that's an awful game to play
It's just a masquerade
Making you the queen of diamonds honey
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades
Paint your face and run around
Dance in silky satin gowns
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown
Oh you think you're safe and sound
I thought you'd know I'd found
It's just a masquerade
And that's an awful game to play
It's just a masquerade
Making you the queen of diamonds honey
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade
It's just a masquerade
