Masquerade

Midnight - the city limelight,
Cast a grow on the circus parade.
Stars gleam in the sackin dream
Of the masquerade.

Backstage the bearded lady
Looks behind to see yesterday´s gone
Hope rise in the painted eyes
And the show goes on

Out in the nigth
Where the neon are bright
To peform for the lady and the gentleman.

Unseen, behind and smokescreen
Saucerers at the candy man´s door
Paths meet where quicksilver feet
Never touch the floor.

Brights overnite sensations,
Tame the tigers who prowl behind bar
Love´s wages to guild the cages
and hide aways the scars.
