John Cale - Faces And Names lyrics

Words and music: 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 see

Faces and names I wish they'd go away

I'd disappear into that wall and never talk

Faces and names

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 when they meet 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 out on the other side

I'd rather look and listen, listen and not talk

To faces and names

I had a breakdown when I was a kid

I lost my hair when I was young

If you dress older when you're 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 and you dressing for me - undressing for me

Faces and names if they all were the same

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

Me jealous of you - I'm jealous of you

Your face and your name

Your face and your name

Faces and names
