I am the harelip, give me one more kiss
We'll have a Mardi Gras on deserted streets
Fingers and forceps, raw meat and music
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 someday?
Potbelly, sickbed, all scars and sweet breath
A lonely vacation, your own Disney parade
It's all that he has
Clamped up by walkmans
A 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 someday?
