Look in the mirror time to face up Ever tried to live without the photographs and money Don't have to live behind the makeup 'cause all I want is what's itching inside of you 'cause I saw you sitting in the rain with the tears running down, running down your face It makes me shiver when I see you like this But just open you're eyes and watch it fade away 'cause I saw you sitting in the rain with the tears running down, running down your face Can't you see it's a masquerade so get yourself together [Chorus] Plug it in, plug it in baby Where you been, where you been baby Plug it in, plug it in baby Where you been, where you been baby I wouldn't say that its so serious I know you think your in a tragic condition You know that I'm a little bit more than curious When all I want is what's kicking inside of you 'cause I saw you sitting in the rain with the tears running down, running down your face It makes me shiver when I see you like this But just open your eyes and watch it fade away 'cause I saw you sitting in the rain with the tears running down, running down your face Can't you see it's a masquerade so get yourself together [Chorus] Ever tried to live without the makeup [Chorus: x2] Just plug it in, Just plug it in Just be yourself babe Be yourself
