Midnight Masks

Everyone's a stranger, quick and blurry I wave hello to ghosts and chasing dreams That vanish in hot pursuits Thump into the rhythm of the beat But my steps don't sink I'm off the seat Crowds multiply but I'm paper thin Hiding in the hustle Where do I begin? Urban ghost dancing on my own In this electric zoo I'm overthrown Smiles like masks in the midnight show Alienated heart, steel in the glow Hey hey city thief take it all away I'm the punchline joke in your big parade Cabhorns scream like laughter in the rain Puddles mirror eyes full of disdain Billboards promise worlds I'll never claim Fingers on the pulse but it's all the same Sidewalks in symphonies of heels and calls I'm the silent note that no one recalls Bodies brushed by electric and cold Stories untold in the stories sold Urban ghost dancing on my own In this electric zoo I'm overthrown Smiles like masks in the midnight show Alienated heart, steel in the glow Hey hey city thief take it all away I'm the punchline joke in your big parade Twist the knife of solitude So sweet feeding on the frenzy incomplete One more lap around this merry hell Ringing hollow bells under the spell Urban ghost dancing on my own In this electric zoo I'm overthrown Smiles like masks in the midnight show Alienated heart, steel in the glow Hey hey city thief take it all away I'm the punchline joke in your big parade Fading in the swarm, yeah, I'm gone at last Urban ghost of the past
