lyrics

This is the story of the lonely man
With the funny face
And all the funny feelings
That his heart could not erase
The things he longed for all long gone
Can never be replaced
They changed and changed and changed
Till only day and night remained

Ashamed ashamed ashamed ashamed

This is the story of the funny man
With the lonely face
His belly full to burst
His tongue too burnt to taste
His life a strange reflection
Of forever changing shapes
As never ending wheels of light
Run mazes through his brain

Ashamed ashamed ashamed ashamed

The mirrors in the fun house
Don’t make everyone complain
The strongest drug can’t take away
The reason for the pain
The feelings you hold on to
Are a picture not a place
Your seat waits at the table
Of the man with the lonely face
This is the story of the lonely man
With the funny face
And all the funny feelings
That his heart could not erase
The things he longed for all long gone
Can never be replaced
They changed and changed
And changed and changed and changed
