Masquerade (Your Heart Gives You Away) (NDC)

Week 90 of NDC/SCC | NDC 44 - 26 Genre: World Fusion + Drum and Bass Theme: Masquerade [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Gold dust caught in the seam of my glove I came for the dance, never came for love A borrowed name and a scarlet disguise Then you looked twice with those unguarded eyes [Pre-Chorus] Let them whisper, let them stare Let the rumors fill the air [Female] When your fingers close on mine Every practiced word runs dry [Chorus] Masquerade, masquerade Let the chandeliers shake Put your painted cheek to mine Let the room believe the lie You can hide your face But your heart gives you away [Post-Chorus] Ma-ma-masquerade Your heart gives you away Ma-ma-masquerade Your heart gives you away [Verse 2] My painted smile is beginning to slip You catch the truth in the bite of my lip No grand confession, no beautiful speech You pull me close when the words won't reach [Female] Your ribbon loosens; you don't turn away I've never wanted so badly to stay [Pre-Chorus] Let them whisper, let them stare Let the rumors fill the air When your fingers close on mine Every practiced word runs dry [Chorus] Masquerade, masquerade Let the chandeliers shake Put your painted cheek to mine Let the room believe the lie You can hide your face But your heart gives you away [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] What if I let the ribbon fall? [Male] I'll be here when morning calls [Female] When there's nothing left to play? [Male] I'll still ask you to stay [Duet] Let the daylight cross the floor Leave the masks beside the door [Brief Silence] [Final Chorus] Masquerade, masquerade Let the chandeliers shake Put your bare cheek next to mine Let them see us in the light You can hide your face But your heart gives you away [Post-Chorus] Ma-ma-masquerade Your heart gives you away Ma-ma-masquerade Your heart gives you away [Outro ] Leave the masks beside the door We don't need them anymore [End]
