Faces And Names Lyrics

Faces And Names

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
