Letra de Man of a Thousand Faces (Live from Soho)
The man of a thousand faces Sits down at the table Eats a small lump of sugar And smiles at the moon like he knows herAnd begins his quiet ascension Without anyone's steady instruction To a place that no religion Has found a path to or a likenessHis words are quiet like stains are On a tablecloth washed in a river Stains that are trying to cover For each other Or at least blend in with the patternGood is better than perfect Scrub till your fingers are bleeding And I'm crying for things that I tell others to do without cryingHe used to go to his favorite bookstores And rip out his favorite pages And stuff 'em into his breast pockets The moon, to him, was a strangerAnd now he sits down at a table right next to the window And begins his quiet ascension Without anyone's steady instruction To a place of no religionHe's found a path to her likeness He eats a small lump of sugar And smiles at the moon like he knows her
