Lyrics
A face stared at me thru my round plastic window
an ugly face with a hideous grin
scarred & pockmarked, empty purple socket where an eye had once been
I tried to look away my eyes were frozen
but he would not avert his stare
he grinned at me his black stumps showing
I guess he once had teeth there
Did his mother love him when he was a baby,
Did he have dimples did he have curls
He winked at me and pulled rubber faces,
He puckered up his lips as if to kiss
He beckoned with his hands he had no fingers
He wanted me to come outside
Did his mother love him when he was a boy
Was he the picture of rosy cheeked youth
I went and had a bath put my best dress on
I tore down the stairs to see him again
I knew he'd come back my long lost lover
I hadn't seen him for a whole year
