S.J. Tucker - Carousel lyrics
[S.J. Tucker - Carousel lyrics]
You were the ink in my
Eyes black with blasphemy
From the night before
The sweet sacrifice that you
Offered was bitter
Dark chocolate, savored it down to my core
Where I smolder no wonder i am frozen today
The carousel runs on, and I hum along
Hum the morning away
Go on and Tango the Gorgon to bed, my dear
Best be prepared to get all
That you bargained for
And when the curtain comes down
These decisions must be made
On the day that the carnival
Heads out of town leaving no trace
Just a music box melody running down
Would you caravan at my side, my love
Will you ride? See how we smolder
No wonder i am frozen today
The carousel runs on and I sing along
Dance the morning away, hey
Oh, don't trust the sideshow serpentina
Shadows run fierce when the
Curtain comes down
But no fiercer than those you may find
Looking into these eyes look into my eyes
Oh, you were the truth of my running mascara
The moment my mask was no more
I offered me up sweet and bitter
Suspecting you'd courage to savor me
Down to my core where I smolder
No wonder I am frozen today
The midway is breaking down
Do I let this miracle stay
Or do I cast it away
No wonder I am freezing, bleeding today
With the carnival I will leave town
Like the melody running down
But darling for now let the carousel play
Running away they will all say
Don't trust the sideshow serpentina
Shadows grow long when the curtain comes down
But no longer like those you may find
Gazing into these eyes look into my eyes
Eyes black with blasphemy
From the night before
The sweet sacrifice that you
Offered was bitter
Dark chocolate, savored it down to my core
Where I smolder no wonder i am frozen today
The carousel runs on, and I hum along
Hum the morning away
Go on and Tango the Gorgon to bed, my dear
Best be prepared to get all
That you bargained for
And when the curtain comes down
These decisions must be made
On the day that the carnival
Heads out of town leaving no trace
Just a music box melody running down
Would you caravan at my side, my love
Will you ride? See how we smolder
No wonder i am frozen today
The carousel runs on and I sing along
Dance the morning away, hey
Oh, don't trust the sideshow serpentina
Shadows run fierce when the
Curtain comes down
But no fiercer than those you may find
Looking into these eyes look into my eyes
Oh, you were the truth of my running mascara
The moment my mask was no more
I offered me up sweet and bitter
Suspecting you'd courage to savor me
Down to my core where I smolder
No wonder I am frozen today
The midway is breaking down
Do I let this miracle stay
Or do I cast it away
No wonder I am freezing, bleeding today
With the carnival I will leave town
Like the melody running down
But darling for now let the carousel play
Running away they will all say
Don't trust the sideshow serpentina
Shadows grow long when the curtain comes down
But no longer like those you may find
Gazing into these eyes look into my eyes
