Lyrics
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade
Masquerade
Look around, there's another mask behind you!
Flash of mauve
Splash of puce
Fool and king
Ghoul and goose
Green and black
Queen and priest
Trace of rouge
Face of beast
Faces
Take your turn, take a ride
On the merry-go-round in an inhuman race
Thigh of blue
True is false
Who is who?
Curl of lip
Swirl of gown
Ace of hearts
Face of clown
Faces
Drink it in, drink it up
Till you've drowned, in the light, in the sound
But who can name the face?
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade
Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade
Seething shadows, breathing lies
Masquerade
You can fool any friend who ever knew you
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes
Masquerade
Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you
What a night, what a crowd
Makes you glad, makes you proud
All the crême de la crême
Watching us and watching them
And all of these are in the past
Six months, of relief of delight
Of elysian peace
And we can breath at last
No more notes, no more ghost
Here's a health, here's a toast
To a prosperous year, to the new chandelier
And may it splendour, never fade
Six months, what a joy, 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 secret? What have we to hide?
Please let's not fight (Christine you're free)
Wait till the time is right, (when will that be?)
It is an engagement, not a crime
Christine, what are you afraid of?
Let's not argue (let's not argue)
Please pretend (I can only hope)
You will understand in time
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face, so the world will never find you
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade
Masquerade
Look around, there's another mask behind you
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade
Take your fill let the spectacle astound you
Why so silent, good Messieurs?
Did you think that I had left you for good?
Have you missed me, good Messieurs?
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!
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd-webber, Richard Stilgoe, Charles Hart
