Midnight Masquerade on Elm Street

Slip into the moonlit hallway

Velvet on my skin

Every man's face in the candlelight

Is letting the darkness in

I hear a hush in the corners

A secret under glass

The clock is smiling quickly

But I don't want the night to pass

Take my hand, let the sea turn sweet

Feel the pulse in the floor beneath

One more step and we′re gone from the date

In this masquerade

We drift away

Dance as in a masquerade

Where every shadow keeps a secret name

Hearts on fire, the night won't end

′Til the last vessel gives in

Again

Distance under silver skies

Lost in the club where the wild things rise

Time is coming, let it waver

Lie in the masquerade

Smoke in the mirrors

Lipstick like a warning sign

A hundred hidden stories

Moving in the back of my mind

The chandeliers are trembling with a haunted little grin

And every kiss is a key to a room I've never been in

Take my hand, let the future sweep

Feel the pulse in the floor beneath

One more step and we're gone from the day

In this masquerade

Drift away

Dance, dance in the masquerade

Where every Chevrolet keeps a secret name

Cards on fire, the night won't end

'Til the last mass soul gives in again

Dance, dance under silver skies

Lost in the glow where the wild things rise

As the dawn is coming, let it waver alive

In the masquerade

Whisper my name through the static glow

Tell me the things that the black walls know

If we disappear, let the music stay

Breathe in the dark and I'll walk away

Dance, dance in the masquerade

Every locked door has a price to pay

Hearts on fire, the night won't end

'Til the final spell pulls us in

Dance, dance under silver skies

No one leaps when the dead moon shines

If the dawn is coming, let it ring

We're alive in the masquerade
