Lyrics:
V1
What a night! We’re feasting now
In the midst of pestilence
The seated guests are all highbrows
Faces worn are petulant
What a night!
PRECH
Masquerade! Sheepskins’ parade
Wolf teeth arrayed
In a search of prey
You will obey
The stars!
CH:
Stars on stilts and stilted stars
When I looked closer they are just sparks.
Tiny-tiny pale sparks
Ignite your hate, and scrape your scars
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
V2
Faces’re tight. Smiles look awesome
Fresh from under a knife
Sutures still show, but we play possum
Oh, we love this life!
Though faces’re tight.
PRECH
Masquerade! Sheepskins’ parade
Fake teeth arrayed
In a search of prey
You will obey
The stars!
CH:
Stars on stilts and stilted stars
Look closer! They are all just sparks.
Tiny-tiny pale sparks
Ignite your hate, and scrape your scars
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
BR
Faces! Faces! Hollow faces!
Masking over empty spaces
Queen it over angry aces!
Win those races! Win those races!
V3
Let’s dance! She tried, but she can’t
She’s too emaciated
To lift her breast implants
So, sniffing coke gets her elevated
Now she can dance!
PRECH
Masquerade! Sheepskins’ parade
Wolf teeth arrayed
In a search of prey
You will obey
The stars!
CH:
Stars on stilts and stilted stars
When I looked closer they are just sparks.
Tiny-tiny pale sparks
Ignite your hate, and scrape your scars
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
PRECH
Masquerade! Sheepskins’ parade
Wolf teeth arrayed
In a search of prey
You will obey
The stars!
CH:
Stars on stilts and stilted stars
When I looked closer they are just sparks.
Tiny-tiny pale sparks
Ignite your hate, and scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
Scrape your scars...
