Carousel Lyrics by S.J. Tucker

Sirens

0

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
But 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
You're running away
You're running away
And I know 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
