Wipe off the makeup it's for the great masquerade
Where, even we are tricked into painting our face
Distorting our bodies for fame
What costume should I wear today?
Love my image
I'm the trainer
Of that big elephant in the room
It's my sickness, dancing for you
Wipe off the makeup it's for the great masquerade
Where, even we are tricked into painting our face
Distorting our bodies for fame
What costume should I wear today?
Cover up more now than ever
Or take it all off, like it matters
Love in the twenty first degree
Isn't even skin deep
Come one, come all, to this marvelous masquerade
Where you can find two face women,
Skeleton girls and elephant trainers
Come whirl with your sickness and dance with you sin!
Come one come all, come again!
Wipe off the makeup it's for the great masquerade
Where, even we are tricked into painting our face
Distorting our bodies for fame
What costume should I wear today?
Wipe off the makeup it's for the great masquerade
Where, even we are tricked into painting our face
Distorting our bodies for fame
What costume should I wear today?
When I was younger I wanted dance in the masquerade
Now I'd like to just see my true surface
