00:00 The next song for you is inspired by a great pianist named Jimmy Rowles.
00:05 Elvis Costello wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music.

00:46 The glitter on a pete and plaster face
01:02 Discovering desire and disgrace
01:11 We could be lovers but no one suspects at all
01:21 Once you were inside that costume ball
01:29 And now I'm sitting here before you
01:39 I have the skill still to disguise my tears
01:48 And as the magic starts to fade
01:55 I find myself abandoning the masquerade
02:07 [Music]
02:10 Even though you're suffering
02:17 You try to hide it
02:22 And pretend it's all nonchalant
02:32 You can cry a pool of tears
02:37 And sit beside it
02:42 Then perhaps you'll know what you've wrong
02:55 I hope you'd never feel this much disfeel
03:03 You'll know the meaning of that empty chill
03:13 As the illusions that we meet
03:21 Are far away in this abandoned masquerade
03:30 [Music]
03:35 [Music]
03:38 [Music]
03:59 [Music]
04:02 Even though you're suffering
04:22 You try to hide it
04:28 And pretend it's all nonchalant
04:35 You can cry a pool of tears
04:41 And sit beside it
04:46 Then perhaps you'll know what you want
04:54 [Music]
04:57 I hope you'd never feel this much disfeel
05:08 Or know the meaning of that empty chill
05:20 As the illusions that we meet
05:25 Are far away in this abandoned masquerade
