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

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 some day
