Cornered at a costume ball by a handful of disguises,
So I tried them all on, and they were all the right sizes,
I wore them obliviously, though they would choke the life from me.

I got here by myself, but I know that I will never leave the same way,
I got here by myself, but how many more will I have had led astray'

I work the floor in search of someone who would give me half a chance,
I know, if I look hard enough, I'll always find someone who'll dance.

I got here by myself, but I know that I will never leave the same way,
I got here by myself, but how many more will I have had led astray'

It's not long before I notice there are no doors to be seen,
I can see I'm going nowhere, somewhere that I've already been.

I got here by myself, but I know that I will never leave the same way,
I got here by myself, but how many more will I have had led astray'
I got here by myself, but I know that I will never leave the same way,
I got here by myself, but how many more will I have had led astray'
