The Faceless Boy

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!
