In Disguise - Aurelio Voltaire

It was five years ago at the carnival

While I was pitching my tent

I was approached by a carnie girl

And oh, she seemed Heaven sent

Her eyes were like diamonds

And lips, they were full and red

And her hair, a black forest

Swung from her head

My heart skipped a beat

And I felt complete

As I gazed into her eyes

And then when I turned around

I found she was gone

We never said goodbye

It wad four years ago at the carnvial

As I was counting my pence

There next to me was a clown girl

From one of the old clowning tents

Her stilts made her so tall

Like a mime, said nothing at all

But her smile was the sweetest I can recall

My heart skipped a beat

And I felt complete

As I gazed into her eyes

And then when I turned around

I found she was gone

We never said goodbye

It was three years ago at the carnival

As I prepared for the show

Suddenly growling there next to me

Was an awesome and fierce wendigo

Her mouth dripped with red

The blood from something she bled

And her antlers were the tallest I’ve ever known

My heart skipped a beat

And I felt complete

As I gazed into her eyes

And then when I turned around

I found she was gone

We never said goodbye

What kind of man am I?

That I fall in love

With so many women at a time

Leaves me wondering

What kind of love is mine

It’s fickle and grounded

And lives in the skies

In the skies, in the skies, in the skies

My love, it lives in the skies

In the skies

It was two years ago at the carnival

I freed unicorns from a sack

I ran into a succubus

With great mighty wings on her back

When she waved, then I said «Wow!

It feels just like a blizzard now»

But she raided my soul

And looted my heart somehow

My heart skipped a beat

And I felt complete

As I gazed into her eyes

And then when I turned around

I found she was gone

We never said goodbye

It was one year ago at a carnival

As I put bats in a bin

Up to my tent came a cavegirl

Bedecked in an animal skin

I was intrigued by this legend

From some kind of league

As more of her flesh

Was outside of her vesture than in

My heart skipped a beat

And I felt complete

As I gazed into her eyes

And then when I turned around

I found she was gone

We never said goodbye

It was just yesterday at the Masquerade

As I was tending my flock

When a Victorian Pirate Queen

Sidled up to the dock

I said «Well hello!

You’re someone that I’d like to know»

And just then I heard midnight

Chime on the clock

She skipped not a beat

My shock was complete

As she gazed into my eyes

And then she said to me

«Don't you realize?

It’s me, it’s me

Don’t you see?

Can’t you see?

The carnie, the clown girl

The wendigo, succubus, cavegirl and queen?»

What kind of lass is she?

That I’d fall in love

With the same woman time after time

When you fall in love with a girl like her

Know you’ll have to learn

To see through the disguise

The disguise, the disguise

The disguise, the disguise

My love she lives in disguise

In disguise, in disguise

In disguise, in disguise

In disguise

She lives her life in disguise

In disguise
