Backstreet
Listen up!
This seems so hypnotic
Smoke and mirrors, lights and magic
Group of faces and gold
This soldier boys, beauty queens
Everyone's a mystery
It's got me losing control
Yearning, I'm gurning
For the one to steal my eyes
Wanna play in this game of digsuise
It's a masquerade
A love parade
So won't you stay
And dance with me
All through the night and day
A masquerade
I need you baby
To stay with me tonight (Masquerade)
Masquerade
Just like a perfect dream
I don't ever wanna leave
A thousand freaks in a show
One's a tiger
One's a lynx
One's a king of suffering
Moving high, moving low
Burning, I'm burning
Can't you see it in my eyes
Wanna play in this game of disguise
I gotta know the girl behind the mask
Let me in where you've been
Don't pretend
Don't gotta hide alone
Show your face to me
We can be everything
It's a masquerade
A love parade
So won't you stay
And dance with me
All through the night and day
A masquerade
I need you baby
To stay with me tonight
