Masquerade Songtext
von The Room

You count me in
You count me out
I′m not sure what this is all about
The silence deafens
The pins they fall
Can we slay this thing once
Once and for all

My head it spins with
Complete defiance
I spill my conscience just to
Break the silence

Don't paint it silver
Paint it gold
This is the last hurrah
Or so I′m told

Like a man in a bubble
I can't get out
This is going to crash
I have no doubt


Cast me a lifeline
Or watch me as I drown
Slipping under, under
To start the countdown

Don't paint it silver
Paint it gold
This is the last hurrah
Or so I′m told

As I watch the tail lights
As they fade away
Now I play my part in this
Crazy masquerade
Tears in my eyes
They cloud my view
Locked in a cage but
I guess you knew

That one push
And I would fall down
To smear the make-up of this
This dying clown


Don′t paint it silver
Paint it gold
This is the last hurrah
Or so I'm told
As I watch the tail lights
And as they fade away
Now I play my part in this
Crazy masquerade

I′m calling out tonight
Don't you see it in my eyes
I see through this masquerade
I see through the games you play

Now the silence fades away
I have nothing left to say
But the stars they′re out tonight
But the clouds they kill their light
