Lyrics




He came up the back stairs
So as not to be seen
He mimed to his bedridden mother
What he had gleaned, yeah
His parents both deaf-mute
Knew the meaning of pain
Without the lightning of words
Still felt the rain, yeah
The fair-haired brown girl
Couldn't stand the touch of a man
So the fake armless wonder
Cut off both his real hands
Then she left unadorned
The spell of a man who loved her
He bulged his eyes with wires
His mouth with cramps
He lived in the shadows
Beneath the gas street lamps
