The Faceless Boy

Faceless Boy - Ezra Furman And 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 at 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
