Meet your wife at cocktail time
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
Your daily masquerade
Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Crumble down upon foundations that you've laid
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Your daily masquerade
Your wonderful parade
(Your daily masquerade)
Stand in line, try to climb
Blindness is a part of every game you've played
Stand in line, try to climb
Your marvelous charade
(Your wonderful parade)
Your marvelous charade
(Your marvelous charade)
Paper masks behind this face which you have made
Moving through the towns that rise and then they fade
Your marvelous charade
(Your daily masquerade)
Your marvelous charade
Your wonderful parade
(Your marvelous charade)
(Ahh)
Meet your wife at cocktail time
Blindness is a part of every game you've played
(Ahh, ahh)
