But I guess you wouldn't know

It's such a shame, the game you play

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made

When your disguise comes crashing down and your self comes shining through

Are you gonna hide your face

Such a shame the game you play, congratulations you're invited to the masquerade

Then play the chorus like the first time
