Mike Shapiro - Carnival Loyalty Lyrics

Heyyyyy-yup!
How do I love thee? Lord how I love thy steely edge,
The way thou glintest in the sun.
Thy way of knowing me, of seeing my most inner heart,
Like this I feel I've never been seen by anyone.
I'll take a run for you. And you will run me clean through.
My eyes deceived me, if ever in yours I saw
A countenance of kin.
Just carnival loyalty, claiming a lacework of filigree
When all you wore was fringe.
I'll take a run for you. And you will run me clean through.
Oh cleave my heart! I believe I could love enough for two now.
You have tasted of my pain, Abel to your Cain.
Lord save me, but I cannot wait to feel the blade again...
I cannot wait to feel again.
I don't know what I'm up against. I don't know what it's all about.
I got so much to think about. I think I love you.
Oh cleave my heart! I do believe I could love enough for two now.
On thee I have no claim to stake - I have only pain.
Why must I feel this way again.
I don't know what I'm up against. I don't know what it's all about.
I got so much to think about. Hey - I think I love you.
