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
