Masquerade Berlin

[Verse 1]
The painted faces on the street
Caricatures of long ago
Oh, they were young and oh, so sweet
Down beyond the boulevard
Knock on doors and empty halls
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever
(The masquerade's forever)

[Chorus]
When you see the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

[Verse 2]
The reeling figures pass on by
Like ghosts in some forgotten play
Beneath the black and empty sky
Music plays, and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever
(The masquerade's forever)

[Pre-Chorus]
They reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow's more of the same
And so they reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow never came
