A little waltz with Fear at the devil's Masquarade...

lyrics

The sun-shiny man in the curtained sedan
Lies in wait for his moment to come
He whispers so soft and his manner's aloft
'Cause the game has already begun

And if looks can kill then he certainly will
With a mad ironclad alibi
Don't push him too far 'cause he's ready to spar
While your charm and your wits come undone

And time keeps moving from future to past
While fear gives a beckoning smile
And Fortune is donning a thinly veiled mask
Dancing a waltz all the while

The sun-shiny mad is so charming and grand
As he easily reels you right in
It's so easy to say, "Hey, it's better that way"
Drinking every last drop with a grin

And if looks could kill then he certainly will
With a mad ironclad alibi
And you'll realize too late what he's got on his plate
When your feathers are plucked, Oh My My!

And time keeps moving from future to past
As fear has the final last laugh
And Fortune she knows how the song always goes
Picking you for a partner at last
