I don't have a face
Someone's stole it from me
So every day I play the same
And draw one on with make-up
I sit and sigh by the windowside
At that person as she passes by...
I know not her name
But I am in love
She's so wonderful, so beautiful
So unlike the hideous me
One time our eyes met
And from that day on
I've never been the same
I can't be a good boy
[The one always gazing at me
through the window... is you, isn't it?
Do you want me...? Want me to love you?
Mamma always tells me
Not to let anyone in
But without opening the door
without a sound
She came to me in my room
Aren't you a wonder, and oh so lovely!
The first to see me and not run away!
A dream seen in waking
Sweet perfume intoxicating me
And you, holding out a mask...
Ah yes...much kinder than even mommy...
"This'll be our little secret"
It touched my skin and she laughed
The mask grafted itself to me
And now it won't come off
It pains, it pains! It hurts me oh!
But this is the face
That you chose for me and so
Even if it kills me
Do you think I'd take it off?
[Boy, you're not the only one without a face.]
