Masquerade lyrics

[Intro: Nick]
Backstreet
Listen up

[Verse 1: Nick]
This scene's so hypnotic
Smoke and mirrors, lights and magic
Paper faces in gold
The soldier boys, beauty queens
Everyone's a mystery
It's got me losing control

[Pre-Chorus 1: Howie]
Yearning, I'm yearning
For the one to steal my eyes
Wanna play in this game of disguise

[Chorus: All]
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So won't you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day?
My masquerade, I need you baby
To stay with me tonight...
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
[Verse 2: AJ & Nick]
Just like a perfect dream
I don't ever wanna leave
A thousand freaks in a show (oh yeah)
One's a tiger, one's a lynx
One's a king that's suffering
Moving high, moving low, oh

[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick]
Burning, I'm burning
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Wanna play in this game of disguise

[Chorus: All]
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So won't you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day?
My masquerade, I need you baby
To stay with me tonight...
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade

[Bridge: Nick & Brian]
I gotta know (I gotta know, yeah)
The girl behind the mask
Let me in, where you been? Don't pretend
Dreamed that I had her alone
Show your face to me, we could be everything
[Chorus: All, AJ & Nick]
It's a masquerade a love parade (masquerade, oh-oh)
So won't you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day?
My masquerade, I need you, baby
To stay....
It's a masquerade a love parade (masquerade, yeah-yeah)
So won't you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day?
My masquerade, I need you, baby
To stay with me tonight...
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
