(Behind the mask, ooh, ooh, ooh)

A girl in te light can set me in flight like a hero
Now I'm bigger than life, tonight as the music plays
At the edge of the stage she shines with the rage of an angel
Tempting my heart and soul in so many ways

And after the show, she waits in the wings for me
Eyes all aglow, lost in the moment
But I gotta know is her heart gonna sing for me

Now that I am just a civilian
And the mystery's gone from the plot
Simply one in a million
Afraid of what I am and what I'm not
Too fond of delusion
So forgive me if I ask
Have you fallen in love with illusion
Or are you looking for the man behind the mask

Seems that every stop on the road there's a heart for the taking
It's so easy to use the power we hold on the stage
But there's something about you, you're not just a heart for the breaking
And thousands of memories someday will fill every page

And after the show, we run from the crazy crowd
Finding a place away from the madness
Two simple souls, long after the final bow

Now that I am just a civilian
And the mystery's gone from the plot
Simply one in a million
Afraid of what I am and what I'm not
Too fond of delusion
So forgive me if I ask
Have you fallen in love with illusion
Or are you looking for the man behind the mask

(Behind the mask, ooh, ooh)
(Behind the mask, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Now that I am just a civilian
I will give you the best that I got
Simply one in a million
Afraid of what I am and what I'm not
Too fond of delusion
So forgive me if I ask
Have you fallen in love with illusion
Or are you looking for the man behind the mask
Behind the mask
Are you looking for the man behind the mask
Behind the mask
Looking for the man behind the mask
