(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)
2
Did you hear the news about Edward?
3
On the back of his head he had another face
4
Was it a woman's face or a young girl?
5
They said to remove it would kill him
6
So poor Edward was doomed
7
The face could laugh and cry
8
It was his devil twin
9
And at night she spoke to him
10
Things heard only in hell
11
But they were impossible to separate
12
Chained together for life
13
Finally the bell tolled his doom
14
He took a suite of rooms
15
And hung himself and her from the balcony irons
16
Some still believe he was freed from her
17
But I knew her too well
18
I say she drove him to suicide
19
And took poor Edward to hell
