Lyrics

[00:05.89]
[00:17.53] The man of a thousand faces
[00:24.25] Sits down at the table
[00:28.99] Eats a small lump of sugar
[00:34.45] And smiles at the moon like he knows her
[00:40.51]
[00:41.13] He begins his quiet ascension
[00:46.56] Without anyone's steady instruction
[00:52.18] To a place of no religion
[00:57.67] He's found a path to her likeness
[01:04.16]
[01:04.63] His words are quiet like stains are
[01:09.29] On a tablecloth washed in a river
[01:14.96] Stains that are trying to cover
[01:20.06] For each other
[01:22.85] Or at least blend in with the pattern
[01:26.04]
[01:30.96] Good is better than perfect
[01:35.64] Scrub till your fingers are bleeding
[01:41.54] And I?m crying for things
[01:45.71] I tell others to do without crying
[01:52.34]
[01:53.02] He used to go to his favorite bookstores
[01:58.01] And rip out his favorite pages
[02:03.73] And stuff 'em into his breast pockets
[02:08.76] The moon, to him, was a stranger
[02:13.46]
[02:15.84] And now he sits down at a table
[02:21.51] Without anyone's steady instruction
[02:27.24] Begins his quiet ascension
[02:38.65] To a place of no religion
[02:42.11]
[02:44.33] He's found a path to her likeness
[02:49.87] He eats a small lump of sugar
[02:55.30] Smiles at the moon like he knows her
[03:06.37]
