Muskerade Muskerade Make the faces of parade Muskerade Hide your face so the world will never find you Muskerade Every face a different shade Muskerade Look around, there's another musk behind you Fashion place, fashion fuse Fool and king, fool and goose Green and black, queen and priest Face of rouge, face of beast Faces Take a turn, take a ride on a merry-go-round In an inhuman race Eye of blue True is false, fool is fool Curl of lips, swirl of gown Face of heart, face of clown Faces Drink it in, drink it up Till you drown in the light, in the sound But who can make the face? Muskerade Many heels, many braids Muskerade Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you Muskerade Heading front and turning back Muskerade Stop and stare and you'll see your smiles around you Muskerade Seeing shadows, breathing lights Muskerade You can fool any friend who ever knew you Muskerade Living shadows, living eyes Muskerade Run and hide, but the face will still pursue you What a sight! What a crowd! Makes you glad Makes you proud, oh, the creme de la creme Watching us And all our fears are in the past Six months Of relief Of delight Of Elysian peace And we can breathe at last No more loss Here's a health Here's a toast To a prosperous year To the new chandelier And we stand And never fade What a change! What a blessing! What a breeze! And what a Muskerade! 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, Rob, please don't tell Steve To let them see it's an engagement, not a bribe Christine, what are you afraid of? Let's not argue She's pretending Oh, well, I'm just standing tall Oh, well, I'm just standing tall What have we to hide? You promised me No, Rob, please don't tell Steve To let them see it's an engagement, not a bribe Christine, what are you afraid of? Let's not argue She's pretending Oh, well, I'm just standing tall Oh, well, I'm just standing tall I'm here to say Masquerade Make your faces on parade Masquerade Hide your face so the world would never find Masquerade Every face a different shade Masquerade Look around, there's another mask behind you Masquerade Burning glances, burning cares Masquerade Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you Masquerade Rainy nevers, rainy days Masquerade Take your fill, let the sound of your voice sound Masquerade Why so silent, good monsieur? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, good monsieur? I have written you an opera Here I bring the finished score Don Juan Triumphant I advise you to comply My instructions should be clear Remember, there are worse things than a shattered chandelier Your chains are still mine, you will sing for me Madame Thierry! Madame Thierry! Madame Thierry! Monsieur, don't ask me I know no more than anyone else That's not true, you know something, don't you? I know nothing Please, monsieur, don't ask me Madame, for all our sakes! Very well It was years ago There was a travelling fair in the city Tumblers, conjurers, human oddities Go on And there was, I shall never forget him A man locked in a cage In a cage? A prodigy, monsieur Scholar, architect, musician A composer And an inventor too, monsieur They boasted he had once built for the Shah of Persia A maze of mirrors Who was this man? A freak of nature, more monster than man Deformed? From birth, it seemed My God Then he went missing He escaped Go on They never found him It was said he had died But he didn't die, did he? The world forgot him But I never can For in this darkness I have seen him again I have said too much, monsieur Too much! No, wait! And there have been too many accidents! Accidents? Madame Giry!
