Cornered at a costume ball   By a handful of disguises   So I tried them all on   And they were all the right sizes   I wore them obviously   Though they would choke the life from me      I got here by myself   But I know that I will never leave the same way   I got here by myself   But how many more will I have led astray      I work the floor in search of someone   Who would give me half a chance   I know if I look hard enough   I'll always find someone who'll dance      I got here by myself   But I know that I will never leave the same way   I got here by myself   But how many more will I have led astray      It's not long before I notice   There are no doors to be seen   I can see I'm going nowhere   Somewhere that I've already been      I got here by myself   But I know that I will never leave the same way   I got here by myself   But how many more will I have led astray      I got here by myself   But I know that I will never leave the same way   I got here by myself   But how many more will I have led astray
