Loveblind

The Church · Sometime Anywhere [1994]

Have I told you 'bout the case

Of the man who had no face?

(Sure I have)

His wife suspected something

That's why she brought me in



We arranged to meet one night

At a bar called Aphrodite's

(on 2nd Street)

But when I looked into her eyes

I very quickly realized

The danger



The price was right

The deal was struck

I don't think that she gave it a thought



It was plain to see

That the lady was

Loveblind

It was clear to see

It was clear that she was

Loveblind



Out into the foggy night

Into the city's blurry light

I drove alone

I wondered then what kind of place

Would make a man lose face



I pieced together clue by clue

Just what a faceless man would do

(It wasn't hard)

Who would he love, where would he go

Places faceless men would know

(on 2nd Street)

I was close

I was near

But that woman just wouldn't hear



It was plain to see

That the lady was

Loveblind

It was clear to see

It was clear that she was

Loveblind



Next morning came, as mornings do

I had a shave that was close to

A close shave

In the mirror, in my space

There was a man without a face



I rang my client and I banged on her door

I told her it was me that we was looking for



It was plain to see

That the lady was

Loveblind

It was clear to see

It was clear that she was

Loveblind
