Faces And Names - Lou Reed John Cale

Faces and names

I wish they were the same

Faces and names only 'cause trouble for me

Faces and names

If we all looked the same

And we all had the same name

I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me

Faces and names

I always fall in love with someone who looks

The way I wish that I could be

I'm always staring at someone who hurts

And the one they hurt is me

Faces and names

To me they're all the same

If I looked like you and you looked like me

There'd be less trouble you'd see

Faces and names

I wish they'd go away

I'd disappear into that wall and never talk

Talk now talk

I wish I was a robot or a machine

Without a feeling or a thought

People who want to meet the name I have

Are always disappointed in me

Faces and names

I wish they were the same

Faces and names only 'cause problems for me

Faces and names

I'd rather be a hole in the wall

Looking on the other side

I'd rather look and listen listen not talk

To faces and names

If I had a breakdown when I was a kid

And I lost my hair when I was young

If you dress older when you are not

As your really age you look the same

If we all looked the same

We wouldn't play these games

Me dressing for you you dressing for me

Undressing for me

Faces and names

If they all were the same

You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you

Me jealous of you you jealous of you

Your face and your name

Your face and your name

Faces and names

Faces and names
