lyrics

(cough)

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
I’m scared for you to see
What has 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

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”, both had ginseng tea.
What happened next remains perplexing to a man that’s me.

Ah, ah, ha, ah, ha, ah-oo ah.

Thanks.

Toss: “Skunk”?

Bryan: Really?

Toss: No, “Dolphins”.

Mike: No!

Bryan: Oh, we switched it.

Toss: We switched it?

Mike: Yeah. It goes like this…

This recording makes a great workout companion! All tracks exercise my mind while I'm power walking the hills where I live in Massachusetts. Keeps the feet moving for my daily 3 miles. Thank you MFTJ and all Keneally music. rondidonato

I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
