I am the harelip
Give me one more kiss
We'll have a mardi gras on deserted streets
Fingers and forceps
Raw meat and muzak
The bubbles in the wine keep the nerves dead
I was awake all through the surgery
The people dancing, laughing, all for me
You sewed me up but it will never heal
Will I forget then learn to smile some day?
Potbellied sick bed
All scars and sweet breads
lonely vacation, your own Disney parade
It's all that he has
Clamped up by Walkmans
midnight waiting room
Hear the distant screams
I was awake all through the surgery
The people dancing, laughing, all for me
You sewed me up but it will never heal
Will I forget then learn to smile some day
