MODERN DAY MASQUERADE

Hey babe, hey babe
Welcome to the Modern Day Masquerade!
Oh yeah, babe... yeah, babe
You've gotta get into the Modern Day Masquerade!

Don't you look lovely baby? So glad you came
Nice choice of accessories–tell me–what is her name?
I'd love to stay and chat, but–ya know–gotta move along
Time waits for no one, baby, and I'm gettin' on

I love the pretty boys in their gangsta clothes
And the innocent-looking girls dressed up like ho's
Makes me almost wish that I could be naive again
Swallow down these stupid pills and count back from ten

Hey babe, hey babe
Welcome to the Modern Day Masquerade!
Oh yeah, babe... yeah, babe
You've gotta get into the Modern Day Masquerade!

Just two more drinks and I'll be good to hit the floor
Bending under twisting lights 'til I can feel no more
And you'll be right beside me sayin' I'm okay
Lost in someone else's eyes as I fade away

Hey babe, hey babe
Welcome to the Modern Day Masquerade!
Oh yeah, babe... yeah, babe
You've gotta get into the Modern Day Masquerade!

You don't see me but it's okay–I don't really like myself much anyway
I won't judge you–how could I try? You hide behind a shallow grave

Hey babe, hey babe
Welcome to the Modern Day Masquerade!
Oh yeah, babe... yeah, babe
You've gotta get into the Modern Day Masquerade!

'Cause this is where it's at, yeah
This is how you become a face
Inside a place where the only soul
Vibrates out of the speakers
Don't take a seat 'cause
You're gonna lose your place in line

Hey babe, hey babe
Welcome to the Modern Day Masquerade!
Oh yeah, babe... yeah, babe
You've gotta get into the Modern Day Masquerade!

You don't see me but it's okay–I don't really like myself much anyway
I won't judge you–how could I try? You hide behind a shallow grave
