One, two
One, two, three
Your wonderful parade
Moving through the towns that rise and then they fade
Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed
Your wonderful parade
Your daily masquerade
(Your daily masquerade)
Paper masks behind this face which you have made
Crumble down upon foundations that you've laid
Your daily masquerade
Stand in line, try to climb
Meet your wife at cocktail time
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Your marvelous charade
(Your marvelous charade)
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
Blindness is a part of every game you've played
Your marvelous charade
(Ahh)
(Your wonderful parade)
(Ahh, ahh)
Stand in line, try to climb
Meet your wife at cocktail time
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Your marvelous charade
(Your marvelous charade)
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
Blindness is a part of every game you've played
Your marvelous charade
(Your daily masquerade)
(Your wonderful parade)
