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
