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

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).
Oh Oh Oh I saw the face of a girl
strapped to a poison pear
she said:
"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!

Where are the six nightmare's at this costume bash?
Open your throat look in the raw gash!

You hold each other by well groomed hands, mumbling prayers to a neglected Jesus.
The maitre d's 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.
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;
they 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...
they said
"we are the six nightmares (oh yeah!) we are the six nightmares (oh yeah)
