MASQUERADE

Words & music by Johnny Kahlua

Recorded at Kjeks Studio, Kristiansand in March 2007

It's my masquerade, it's not yours to take

Watch the ocean moving for the sake

You're an enigma, too dumb to fake

Holding hands, down by the lake

I was born to rock the boat

With the seahorse and the things he wrote

He wears my mask and my brand new coat

Some may sink, but we will float

Sometimes it gets so hard to believe

In the woman who is sent to deceive

Have you ever seen her naked grieve

If you do you are mighty naive

So I leave back on the street

With the minstrel and the blue marguerite

Making our way by the window seat

I'm going home to be complete
