here comes another ballroom story 
those low dead dice the recent past 
sweet innocence has lost her glory 
in modern living so she wears a mask 
she wears a mask 
she's up until four in the morning 
swimming in a cocktail glass 
it's cold when blue lets the dawn in 
it's winter when she wears her mask 
she wears a mask 
if that's a look on her face 
then no we're never ever going to find out 
if it's a five or an ace 
that takes her out 
on saturday nights when it's raining 
she dresses up and drives too fast 
there is no use or complaining 
she's singing and she wears a mask 
she wears a mask 
if that's a look on her face 
then no we're never ever gonna find out 
if it's a five or an ace 
that takes her out
