Masquerade

[exitstageright]

This was a popular song in 1972,by the then new group,Earth,Wind,and Fire.
Does this song remind you of the dating world as well?

Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin' what what you really are on the inside
Pretending that you're something you're really not, yeah yeah

Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Just like a masquerade
Just like a masquerade

Yeah, can't you see, can't you see what you really are, ooh yeah
Pretending that you want the world to be a better place
Yet you're fightin', makin' war on your fellow man
So why wear this face that makes it seem everything's so great, yeah yeah

Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face, another face

Won't you tell me
What can the whole world be hiding
What can the whole world be hiding
What can the whole world be hiding

[miss-a]

Earth, Wind and Fire, those were the days!
I hear you, bro. People are definitely complicated. But, hey, in your cruise pics there was one lady you were photographed with several times. I thought perhaps you'd found a match.

Earth, Wind and Fire, those were the days!
I hear you, bro. People are definitely complicated. But, hey, in your cruise pics there was one lady you were photographed with several times. I thought perhaps you'd found a match.

Yes,that was Beth. I was thinking and hoping that we would be a match.

But,she was interested in another passenger that was not in our group. She is Jewish. She is also smart.That is why I think that Jewish women are hot.They are physically attractive.They are very smart. And,they are very intelligent. My kind of woman!

She is also a great dancer.We danced to many songs. And,people wonder how I can lose four pounds on an eight day cruise. It is all of that dancing!

 

[miss-a]

Dancing is excellent exercise!

I like your music choices.

I seen your lyrics for "Cheaper To Keep Her" on a different post. I listen to the Buddy Guy version about 3 times a day.

Thanks!!! Life would be boring if it was not for music.

I think the lyrics to your song sum it up quite well. There is another song called Masquerade from The Phantom of the Opera.

The opening lyrics go like this:

Masquerade, paper faces on parade.
Masquerade, hide your face so the world will never find you.
Masquerade, every face a differeent shade.
Masquerade, look around, there,s another mask behind you.

I,m also reminded of the Stevie Wonder, Masquerade. This song was also done by the Carpenters.

Are we really happy here in this lonely game we play?

A good question and also part of the lyrics to this song.
