Ruge, face of beast, faces! Take a turn, take a ride on the merry-go-round And I'm infumed by your grace! I am blue, true is false, true is who Curl of lips, swirl of gown, ace of hearts, ace of heart Faces! Drink it in, drink it up, till you drown in the light In the star that you can make your face! Masquerade! Pretty girls, pretty men, masquerade! Take your pill, get the spectacle, the spell! Masquerade! Curling buns and turning heads, masquerade! Dolphins' hair and the sea are smiles around you! Masquerade! Singing shadows, breathing lies, masquerade! You can fool any friend you ever need! Masquerade! Singing shadows, breathing lies, masquerade! One and all, your face will still pursue you! What a night! What a crowd! Makes you glad! Makes you proud! All the creme de la creme! Watching us, watching them! Three months! Of relief! Of delight! Of Elysian peace! And we can breathe at last! No more doubts! No more ghosts! Here's a health! Here's a toast to a prosperous year! To our friends who are here! Happy holidays! Three months of faith! What a change! What a blessed release! And what a masquerade! Think of it! A secret engagement! Look, your future bride! Just think of it! But why is it secret? What have we to hide? You promised me! No, Ralph, please don't! They'll see! Well, then let them see! It's an engagement, not a crime! Christine, what are you afraid of? Let's not argue! Let's not argue! Please pretend you will understand in time! Masquerade! Masquerade! Masquerade! Masquerade! Masquerade! Masquerade! Masquerade!
