The Faceless Boy Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

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 he got no ears to hear them 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!
