moon honey - self-portrait beneath woman's mask lyrics

[verse 1]
when edvard was five
he asked his sunday school teacher
“mrs. green, can the devil see my thoughts?”
“no, no, no, no, no, dear
but he can put ’em there”
she said, “no, no, no, no, no, dear
but he can stick ’em there
so if you have a nightmare
just smile, he won’t know you care
and when you have a nightmare
don’t show fear”

[verse 2]
when edvard was sixteen
he beamed through the flap of a mask
whether cross or sad
his mouth cracked in a half laugh
he never ever showed a weak spot
dissipating with a drip+drop
he thought, “does the lord know which are my thoughts?
and how do i prove i’m not a bad boy?
how do i tell my girl i need her?
it’s not, not like i’m crazy”

[bridge]
lips curved sharp
as a reaping scythe
separating what is combed
and what’s inside
she sewed his head
with thread last night
and gingerly sunk
a needle in his pride
[verse 3]
he said, “no, no, no, no, no, dear
please don’t touch me there”
said, “no, no, no, no, no, dear
please touch me
’cause just because the light’s out
it don’t mean, don’t mean that i don’t care
and even though the light’s out
i’m still here”
