Lyrics:

A definitive call back to “Scared of GIrls” from 1998, this track features heavily distortion and a frenetic pace. Stef said in 2001 it was a “belter live”, and they played it right up until 2003.
Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that change their name
And a horn of plenty
Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine
Couldn't start to hide me

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
To be naked and profane
There is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding

Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you

Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
