Every smile, every laugh
There on the map of your face
Would you peel away your life
to leave a mask in its place?
Kenny sliced the skin
his rich life had earned
Blood and mutilation
like a wretch horrifically burned
Joan and Roseanne
and your sister-in-law too
If you don't feel the horror
someone took your soul from you
If you cannot understand
If you have not eyes to see
Imagine doctors carving
the face of a chimpanzee
Every smile, every laugh
Each tear of foolish sorrow
Come be a fool with me
We'll kiss our lines tomorrow
