Lyrical Response

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.

[muppy]

If you're feeling low, no
And your world comes tumbling down
If you see hard times, stop
Better take a look around

Good things must end
They never last
Look to tomorrow
Forget the past

[Bill from NYC]

New York City was so damned cold
I had to get out of that town before I got old
California and rock and roll dream
Got too high and we blew our whole scene
But we had a good time

 

Old times, good times
Old times, good times

Edited February 16 by Bill from NYC

[muppy]

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to the same old jam

 

Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home
For a brown-eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care

[LeviF]

Stay the same, don't ever change, 'cause I'd miss your ways
With your Bette Davis eyes and your mama's party dress
While this city pumps its aching heart for one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust and we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on

[PastaJoe]

Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

[Bill from NYC]

Well, I'm sorry, girl, but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
There's too much pain and too much sorrow
I guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

 

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

[muppy]

Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ah

[PastaJoe]

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up

I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so

[WhoTom]

Ain't no time to hate
Barely time to wait
Woah, oh, what I want to know
Where does the time go?

[muppy]

I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy
I don't mind, 'cause you mean that much to me

 

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

Now Jason's getting married in the blink of an eye
I got an invitation, but I didn't reply
Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves
And give him all of my love

 

All of my friends say I should move on
She's just another girl
Don't let her stick it to your heart so hard
And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be
And it's a great big world
She's just another girl

[PastaJoe]

There come a time in everybody's life
When you just gotta just
Move on down the road
You know what I'm talkin', baby
Number fifteen, man
Shut up, Boogie
Lay it down, Larry

[technobot]

I'm here out thinkin', thinkin'
I'm thinkin' 'bout what I've done (what I've done)
And that's why, yeah
I've been eight days on the road, ah (eight days on the road)
That's right, oh, eight days on the road

[muppy]

Roll my tape
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Thirty days...
Anyone doin' that one?
(Which one?)
I'm doin' that one

 

Thirty days in the hole
(Yeah, that's nice)
Thirty days in the hole
Thirty days in the hole
(Lord have mercy)
'Come on in man, that's it. Yeah. Right.

[PastaJoe]

Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off
Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away
Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong
Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away

 

[technobot]

Be a winner, be a star
Yeah, be happy to be who you are
Got to be yourself, gotta make a plan
Got to go for it while you can

 

Come on over, come on in
Pull up a seat, take a load off your feet
Come on over, come on in
You can unwind, take a load off your mind
Oh-oh, yeah
Uh-huh
Come on in

[Bill from NYC]

I sent a letter to a man I know
Said, "one for the money and
Two for the show"
I waited all summer for his reply
Said, "three to get ready and four to fly"

Only two things in the world I love
That's rock 'n' roll and my turtle dove
When i was a young man i needed good luck
But i'm a little bit older now
And i know my stuff

 

Come on honey, let me sing them away
Come on honey, let me sing them away
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away

[muppy]

… Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on

 

… Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man? Yeah
And didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Honey, you know I did

 

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough

 

… I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed

[PastaJoe]

Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment 
You mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen
