Come, darling, and wear your mask!
It’s time to come and dance a dance.
Entwine and mangle and disarrange
through time’s unfriendly masquerade.
Come, darling, wear your mask!
Dazzle with your sequin eyes,
hide behind the ceramic disguise
of what they say is good and wise.
Come, darling, wear your mask!
Keep the rhythm of this hasty dance.
Move one way and move the next,
never stopping to relax.
Come, darling, wear your mask!
Hide that frozen, glaring frown
behind the glitter of your gown,
always looking up and never down.
