Wear your mask tonight
We’re going to the ball
Can you see your name in lights?
Down the avenues of Soho
Ten feet tall
Hear the music in the air
Cliches dancing everywhere
The crowds swaying to the beats
They’re in the hallways, doorways, bars and in the streets
The city’s streets are paved with gold
The city’s gates are made of pearl
The keepers of the gate they either lie or tell the truth
It’s hard to win, it’s hard to lose
The city’s streets are paved with gold
But there’s two ways that you can go
The people on the streets have lost the right to choose
It’s hard to win, it’s hard to lose
Wear your mask tonight
Or you’re up against the wall
Can you see them cower in fright?
Through the empty streets
That have no name at all
Hear the silence in the air
Cliches choking up the airwaves
The crowds soaking up the spin
Without a thought for who will be the ones
To clean up all the mess we’re in
The city’s streets are paved with gold
The city’s gates are made of pearl
The keepers of the gate they either lie or tell the truth
It’s hard to win, it’s hard to lose
The city’s streets are paved with gold
But there’s two ways that you can go
The people on the streets have lost the right to choose
It’s hard to win, it’s hard to lose
The city’s streets are paved with gold
The city’s gates are made of pearl
The keepers of the gate they either lie or tell the truth
It’s hard to win, it’s hard to lose
