The Masquerade Is Over

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love
And so is love, and so is love
With tears in my eyes
But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not the same'
But my heart says, 'No, no, you're not, you're not the same'
You look, you look the same, you're a lot the same
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And so is love, and so is love
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And get myself a clown's disguise
You look the same, you're a lot the same
With tears in my eyes

And learn to laugh like Pagliacci

I'm afraid the masquerade is over
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
And so is love, and so is love
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
Your words don't mean what they used to mean

And get myself a clown's disguise
