Masquerade Lyrics – The Lackadaisies

Masquerade Text

---

How long before you let me write a song?
The bloody melody's all wrong
It leads me to bereave
(To bereave a while)

Each night is different than the one before
You slid into my mind to score your tragedy

Well it took me a while to find my baby
At the masquerade, we all show our feathers
Every time you fall for someone new
(Ba ba da da da da,
Ba ba da da da da)
How long before the tables turn on you?

How long before you let me write a song?
The bloody melody's all wrong
It leads me to bereave
(To bereave a while, a while)

Where all of the colors fade to
The purple skies of yesterday
Your taste, your touch
I never see

Well it took me a while to find my baby
At the masquerade, we all show our feathers
Every time you fall for someone new
(Ba ba da da da da,
Ba ba da da da da)
How long before the tables turn on you?

Well it took me a while to finally figure out
What took me oh so long to forget about
Every time you walk into a room
(Ba ba da da da da,
Ba ba da da da da)
How long before the tables turn on you?
