Charade

... ...  
 
Many scary voids, many spooky people                                                  
Some of them are moles, some of them are ESPers                                  
                                                                                                                    
Many marionettes, many hidden strings                                                    
Some of them are pulled, some of them are untwisted

                              
Mysteries                                                          
Secrecy                                                            
Lyrics without emotion                                              
Background information                                                                              
Political connections                                                  
It's all just one charade ...                                            
It's all just one charade masking our hopes    

                                                                                                                                            
And it goes on and on                                                                                
On and on ... and so on  
                                           
                                                                                                                    
And it feels like home...   Yes, it really feels like home                                
The remants of magic left in every generation                                          
A woman at a sushi bar at a train station                                                    
I sense someone else has bigger plans for her and me  
 
Mysteries                                                          
Secrecy                                                            
Lyrics without emotion                                              
Background information                                                                              
Political connections                                                  
It's all just one charade ...                                            
It's all just one charade masking our hopes

 
And it goes on and on                                                                                
On and on ... and so on
