When the French maids cigarette turns
 burns like a boiling tapeworm
 (That was really something baby,
 that was really something baby)
 When the chandeliers shatter,
 your guest's gowns turn to tatters, the portraits just chatter
 (That was really something baby,
 that was really something baby)
 Can you feel your sweat beading porcelain?
 Your skeleton outgrowing it's skin?
 It's the pinball masquerade....
 (That was really something baby)

 Oh Oh Oh! I saw the curtains of hair!
 Oh Oh Oh! I saw my fingers tear!
 They said "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
 Oh Oh Oh, I saw the face of a girl 
 oh oh oh, strapped to a poison pear 
 oh oh oh, she said:
 "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah.)"

 I saw a millionaire eat his shadow,
 I saw a water clock beat a widow;
 they said, "If one man's life is the sum of something
 I want to see your fears materializing!"
 "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)"
 Where are the six nightmares
 where are the six nightmares
 where are the six nightmares
 where are the six nightmares
 at this costume bash?!
 Open your throat look in the raw gash!

 You held each other by well-groomed hands,
 mumbling prayers to a neglected Jesus.
 The Maître-Des quiver as they watch you shiver as the mask
 and the mouth knit into each other.
 Our laughter was deafening but our lips,
 but our lips, but our lips were trembling.
 Our laughter was deafening but our lips,
 but our lips, but our lips were trembling
 Now the lady with the peacock mask,
 is writhing around in broken monocle glass,
 imprisoned like a beetle laying on it's back,
 and the man striped up and clawed Calico like a cat,
 is trapped forever looking like that.

 "All your luxury, all your well hidden trash,
 all your empty wine bottles disguised as class,
 all the [bad word] children you pay off,
 all the money it takes for you to get off...
 May I have this dance?"
 The dark dealer takes your hands.
 "All your memories all your forgotten plans/one night stands;
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
 They are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!"

 Oh Oh Oh! I saw the mirrors cringe!
 Oh Oh Oh! The choir voices bend!
 Oh Oh Oh! The costume in my skin! Oh Oh Oh!
 It said, "We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
 We are the six nightmares (Oh yeah!)
 We are the six nightmares.
 WE ARE THE SIX NIGHTMARES!"

 "All your luxury, all your well hidden trash,
 all your empty wine bottles disguised as class,
 May I have this dance?"
 The dark dealer takes your hands.
 "All your memories all your forgotten plans/one night stands;
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!
 We are the six nightmares at the masquerade!"
