Original London Cast - Masquerade / Why So Silent lyrics

Masquerade Paper faces on parade Masquerade Hide your face, so the world will Never find you Masquerade Every face a different shade Masquerade Look around there's another Mask behind you Flash of mauve Splash of puce Fool and king Ghoul and goose Green and black Queen and priest Trace of rouge Face of beast Faces Take your turn, take a ride On the merry-go-round In an inhuman race Eye of gold Thigh of blue True is false Who is who Curl of lip Swirl of gown Ace of hearts Face of clown Faces Drink it in, drink it up, till you've drowned In the light In the sound But who can name the face Masquerade Grinning yellows Spinning reds Masquerade Take your fill Let the spectacle astound you Masquerade Burning glances Turning heads Masquerade Stop and stare At the sea of smiles Around you Masquerade Seething shadows Breathing lies Masquerade You can fool Any friend who Ever knew you Masquerade Leering satyrs, peering eyes Masquerade Run and hide, but a face will Still pursue you What a night What a crowd Makes you glad Makes you proud All the creme De la creme Watching us watching them And all our fears are in the past Six months Of relief Of delight Of Elysian peace And we can breathe at last No more notes No more ghost Here's a health Here's a toast To a prosperous year Or trough our friend who are here To the new chandelier And may its Splendour never fade Six months What a joy What a change What a blessed release And what a masquerade Think of it, a scecret engagement Look, your furture bride Just think of it But why is scecret What have we to hide? You promise me No raoul, please they see No well, let them see It is a engagement not a crime Christine where are you afraid of? Christine & Raoul: Let's no talking, please britent You will understand it at time Masquerade Paper faces on parade Masquerade Hide your face, so the world will Never find you Masquerade Every face a different shade Masquerade Look around there's another Mask behind you Masquerade Burning glances Turning heads Masquerade Stop and stare At the sea of smiles Around you Masquerade Grinning yellows Spinning reds Masquerade Take your fill Let the spectacle astound you
