Midnight Masquerade

[Verse]
Velvet mask and candle light, the clock is striking ten
Nobody knows who anyone is, and nobody cares by then
Shadows on the marble floor, a violin somewhere
A stranger takes my hand and says, don't look behind you there

[Chorus]
Midnight masquerade, dance until the candles fade
Midnight masquerade, every face is a charade
Spin me in the dark, let the ghosts join in the parade
Midnight, midnight masquerade

[Verse]
Chandelier is swinging low, the punch is glowing green
The band plays something older than anything I've seen
Every mirror in the hall shows someone else instead
I think I danced with a portrait, I think the portrait led

[Chorus]
Midnight masquerade, dance until the candles fade
Midnight masquerade, every face is a charade
Spin me in the dark, let the ghosts join in the parade
Midnight, midnight masquerade

[Bridge]
Take off the mask, take off the mask
Nobody will, nobody will

[Chorus]
Midnight masquerade, dance until the candles fade
Midnight masquerade, every face is a charade
Spin me in the dark, let the ghosts join in the parade
Midnight, midnight masquerade
