That curtain call is now Luck is for suckers It's a masquerade Luck is for suckers It's a masquerade Luck is for suckers It's a masquerade Luck is for suckers Everybody's growing up pretending Making up and faking smiles It's a masquerade, put that mask away! Everybody's growing up pretending Is it really worth your while? That curtain call is now
