Two Faces

i stand between the left and the right.
between two faces, day and night.
back there I see the ancient past.
and here it is, it seems to last.
people never learn to see.
the things that are, and that will be.
attach the word to the image in the brain
and watch as life goes down the drain.

how can two faces have one mouth when there are two music
how can one mouth hold two words and mean nothing
i need two faces to sing one song
in need two faces to mean one thing
to mean something i need no mouth

two faces have two eyes when they
stand as close as love.

if right is right and left is wrong
i need two faces to sing this song
i need two faces to play this game
i need to be just enough insane
i'm aware of what i'm at
i stand between the good and bad
i know that 'cause it's written in the book
for each event the perfect hook

how can two faces have one mouth when there are two music
how can one mouth hold two words and mean nothing
i need two faces to sing one song
in need two faces to mean one thing
to mean something i need no mouth

two faces have two eyes when
they stand as close as love.
two faces have two eyes when
they stand as close as olve.
two faces have two eyes when
they stand as close as love.
it doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
it doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
it doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
