Masquerade Songtext
von Beach House

She comes dressed like Sunday
String of pearls around her neck
Room of mirrors, days of lace
Porcelain and picturesque

Her eyes masquerade, fade to black

Roses on the winding path
Velvet ribbon down her back
Shadows lie across her face
Drowning in a state of grace


Her eyes masquerade, fade to black
They′ll come at night to take her back

(Want to, to need me, need to please you)
(Do you see her in the mirror?)
(In the mirror, do you see her?)
(Want to need you, need to please you)

Her eyes masquerade, fade to black (ah)
They'll come at night to take her back

Light each candle
Here tonight, then gone forever

Light each candle, here tonight, then gone forever

Light each candle, here tonight, then gone forever


Here tonight, then gone forever
