Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - The Faceless Boy lyrics

The boy who was born without a face Can't go out in public or any place He just sits at home and he cries all day Or he would if his tears had a way to escape No eyes, no mouth His north is your south His parents wonder what went wrong Did we start too early did we wait too long Or is it all a part of God's peculiar maze That our baby was born without a face Look out! Cuz you can... Well, the faceless boy's life, well, it ain't too grim Cuz you got no ears don't even laugh at him Still when guests come over they keep the lights dim And the sign on his bedroom says: Don't come in In the faceless boy's mind the pine trees grow They're evergreens they last through the winter snow But he can't smell which way the wind blows Cuz no face, no eyes, no ears, no mouth, no nose! No nose! The girl who was born without any hands All she does is dance and dance Can't pick up a pen, can't put on her pants All she does is dance cuz it's all she can oo! Ain't got no fingers ain't got no thumbs And she could never fight it so she succumbs To fate on the date on which she was born She thinks of herself as a unicorn alright. She wanders around all over the land Looking around for her handless man But she just ends up collapsing in the sand In her mind, no hands, no hands, no hands, no hands! No hands, oh! When the faceless boy met the handless girl All the cosmos above them swirled He felt her face, she stared at his hand And they walked on and never saw eachother again. Oh no! Faceless boy! Faceless boy oh!
