It was a masquerade at Mardi Gras   That was the only trip that I recall   Every time I turned around at all   There was you      Some days are easier said than done   Always expecting something's wrong   I'd rather live alone than drag this on      Take your time, please lay your hands on me   Don't wanna be alone, oh no   A mask behind the face and then you're gone   Oh yeah, comes a time when you're better off alone, you're on your own      I've got a kaleidoscope of memories   Visions of you locked up inside of me   Can't you see      We once collided like a broken wheel   So undecided what was real   Maybe a crash somehow has sex appeal   Whatever turns you on      Take your time, please lay your hands on me   Don't wanna be alone, oh no   A mask behind a face and then you're gone   Oh yeah, comes a time when you're better off alone      One down, one to go   Oh no, playin' in a carnival your time is gone   One down, one to go   Oh no, playin' in a carnival, you're all alone   One down, one to go   Oh no, you're on your own
