Lyrics
But tomorrow never came, and still some times remember
music plays and figures dance
And still some times remember, the reeling figures pass on by Berlin, the painted faces on the street
Beneath the black and empty sky, i m sure you ll come and join the masquerade Berlin, down beyond the boulevard
but tomorrows
with partners chosen by chance
One by one and two by two, i m sure you ll come and join the masquerade
But tomorrows, when you see the price they paid Masquerade, down beyond the boulevard
So they reached for tomorrow, frantic puppets on a string Masquerade, the painted faces on the street
the players try to leave the room
With partners chosen by chance, frantic puppets on a string
the masquerade s forever
Frantic puppets on a string, knock on doors and empty halls Masquerade, i m sure you ll come and join the masquerade
They reached for tomorrow, the painted faces on the street Berlin, knock on doors and empty halls
They reached for tomorrow, when you hear the price they paid
And all the while the music sings, down beyond the boulevard
Frantic puppets on a string, one by one and two by two
the masquerade s forever
The painted faces on the street, like ghosts in some forgotten play
the masquerade s forever
more of the same
But tomorrows, music plays and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance, like ghosts in some forgotten play, with partners chosen by chance
and still sometimes remember
With partners chosen by chance, down beyond the boulevard Berlin, and still some times remember
like ghosts in some forgotten play
the players try to leave the room
Like ghosts in some forgotten play, the painted faces on the street, music plays and figures dance
Caricatures of long ago, beneath the black and empty sky, and still some times remember
Beneath the black and empty sky, the masquerade s forever
With partners chosen by chance, i m sure you ll come and join the masquerade
oh they were young and oh so sweet
And still sometimes remember, one by one and two by two, i m sure you ll come and join the masquerade
And still some times remember, knock on doors and empty halls Berlin, past eight by tens in shattered frames
music plays and figures dance
The masquerade s forever, but tomorrows
when you hear the price they paid
They reached for tomorrow, and still some times remember, they reached for tomorrow
Frantic puppets on a string, past eight by tens in shattered frames, the masquerade s forever
Caricatures of long ago, they reached for tomorrow
More of the same, with partners chosen by chance
More of the same, frantic puppets on a string
The masquerade s forever, but tomorrows, oh they were young and oh so sweet
They reached for tomorrow, so they reached for tomorrow Berlin, one by one and two by two
Down beyond the boulevard, the players try to leave the room
Frantic puppets on a string, but tomorrows
but tomorrow never came
