October: “Conceal me what I am, and be my aid / For such disguise as haply shall become / The form of my intent”

lyrics

Sitting pretty getting
Ready for your day
A formal costume to
Keep your image straight
Adjust your collar
Comb your hair just the right way
It's all a lavish charade
It's just another masquerade

You try your hardest now
To keep it honest somehow
Until your final bow
When things will finally go your way

Slowly rolling up your stockings
Keep them nice and tight
You know you want to pull one
Over on them all tonight
You know your secrets but you
Keep them all just out of sight
With the mystery you've made
It's just another masquerade

Try to prove to yourself
You keep it true to your self
Until you're someone else
Things will always go your way

Make your face up with a
Rose upon each cheek
Coy yet flirtatious just enough
To make them want to peek
All of your charms you barely
Hide and that they always seek
It's like a tickertape parade
But it's just a masquerade

It's all a subtle game
This clever picture that you've made
And every time we play
It's just a pretty masquerade
