Harry's Circumcision - Reverie Gone Astray Lyrics

Looking in the mirror Harry didn't like what he sawThe cheeks of his mother the eyes of his fatherAs each day crashed around him the future stood revealedHe was turning into his parentsThe final disappointmentStepping out of the shower Harry stared at himselfHis hairline receding the slight overbiteHe picked up the razor to begin his shavingand thought oh I wish I was differentI wish I was stronger I wish I was thinnerI wish I didn't have this noseThese ears that stick out remind me of my fatherand I don't want to be reminded at allThe final disappointmentHarry looked into the mirror thinking of Vincent Van Goghand with a quick swipe lopped off his noseAnd happy with that he made a slcie where his chin wasHe's always wanted a dimpleThe end of all illusionThen peering down straight between his legsHarry thought of the range of possibilitiesA new face a new life no memories of the pastand slit his throat from ear to earHarry woke up with a cough the stitches made his winceA doctor smiled at him from somewhere across the roomSon we saved your life but you'll never look the sameAnd when he heard that, Harry had to laughAlthough it hurt Harry had to laughThe final disappointment
