Lyrics for Blameless (The Floating Face)

Blameless are you Blame me Carving a face in a tree A bolt from above And at this point my face became me I am the floating face The children throw baseballs at me The experts determined I'm six feet wide And my tears could fill the sea Last week I floated by your house My nostrils flared with unrequited love But I'm scared for you to see All that's become of me If there is a God There's no skin on his face A fiendish skull that rains terror on me I am the floating face Without redeeming grace Don't gloat in your rat race Don't laugh at my fat face Then God said "Just you hold on This was not some callous feat of mine Your fate was predetermined in another space and time" And Face said "My apologies" And both had ginseng tea What happened next remains perplexing To a man that's me
