Faces And Names Lyrics by Lou Reed

Faces And Names Lyrics

    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
    Talk, not 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 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

    If 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 or me jealous of you
    Me jealous of you, me jealous of you

    Your face and your name
    Your face and your name
    Faces and names
    Faces and names
