dave pirner - faces & names كلمات الأغنية
there was something in the air that day, like gunpowder or sulfur
and soon a wild migration came from upstairs like a storm
i was at a costume party and although n0body noticed
i mingled there stark naked, all my emperor’s clothes were torn
when suddenly the sprinkler system ran the makeup down her dress
i must confess i had forgotten who i went to meet there
something was not right right then
and there i saw you five years later like someone i’d never seen before
and my life flashed before me and exploded into flames
now i just sit back and laugh, ’cause the only thing that’s changed
are the faces and the names
so i thought i’d say h-llo but that building it was burning
and you turned and ran away just like the vision i remember
right then i got run over by a local politician
who said that segregation would be good for education
so there i was stark naked with a racist politician
in about three feet of water in a building that was burning
we looked to find the exit and he said he owned the building
i was breathing in the suffocation, blowing out the air
and my life flashed before me and exploded into flames
now i just sit back and laugh, ’cause the only thing that’s changed
are the faces and the names
now i had knocked myself unconscious, at the time i’d felt like drowning
when i came to i was rolling through emergency room doors
and they left me in the waiting room with work-related head-wound victims
wondering what happened and still bleeding on the floor
and sitting there my grade-school teacher stared at me and said, “what happened?
“son, you could have been someone, you could have been so much more”
and i thought about that party and my fine fair-weathered friends
and that burning building and those folks i’d never see again
and my life flashed before me and exploded into flames
now i just sit back and laugh, ’cause the only thing that’s changed
are the faces and the names
