Lyrics

You never thought that you would have to cope with all these things
Gotta hide your face from the human race, and the loneliness that brings
So many think they know you, but you know no one at all
You're the perfection they seek, you're strong when they're weak, you're the one that's got it all

Go wherever the wind blows baby, sleep inside the warmest bed you can find
Just a little addiction, that's gonna blow my mind
Keep the thing in perspective, I got every thing I ever wanted,
Trip the light fantastic baby, let me spend some time in the spotlight and maybe

Just look good then never fade, just put on a little masquerade
You get the life, the car the house get paid, everyone around you thinks you've got it made
Take a bow, life's a trade, don't ever let them see that you're afraid
Life's a masquerade

You make love to over a million, but you still go home alone
With a bottle to drink, coz you don't want to think how the emptiness has grown
When in public, or when out on the town
The role that you play always gives you away, a lonely tragic clown

But reality is that its show-time baby, gonna take the nearest stage I can find
Gotta feed my addiction, gotta blow my m ind
Keep it all in perspective - I got everything I ever wanted
Trip the light fantastic baby, let me tread the boards in the spotlight and maybe

Just look good then never fade, just put on a little masquerade
You get the life, the car the house get paid, everyone around you thinks you've got it made
Take a bow, life's a trade, don't ever let them see that you're afraid
Life's a masquerade
