Pour me some wine, join me tonight
Surround me with your happy faces
Share some fun stories, stay up all night
Surround me with your friendly faces
Then look at me, when I'm not aware
Then you'll see, I cannot do without you

I'll be right there, if you ask me to
If you're feeling sad, I'll stay with you
And if you're scared, I'll hold your hand
Like I know you'd do for me too, like I know
You'd do for me too

Pour me some wine, join me tonight
Life is so good when I'm with you
I needed the laughs, I needed your cheer tonight
Life is so good when I'm with you
So look at me, when I'm not aware
Then you'll see, I cannot do without you

I'll be right there, if you ask me to
If you're feeling sad, I'll stay with you
And if you're scared, I'll hold your hand
Like I know you'd do for me too.
I'll be right there, if you ask me to
If you're feeling sad, I'll stay with you
And if you're scared, I'll hold your hand

[A:] Look around you
What do those faces tell you?

[R:] Faces, joy and pain

[A:] Faces
All around different faces I see
Some are happy, some in misery
They express joy and pain
No two faces are the same.

[R:] People, people all over town
Some of them are poor and others wear a crown
I've seen alot of many faces
Joy and pain in different places
Open your mind, set yourself free
Figure it out, what could it be?
Sympathise, understand
Give love and peace to the other fellow man

[A:] Faces
[R:] Faces, joy and pain
[A:] Look around you
Do you see those faces
What do those faces tell you

[A:] Everywhere I go, different faces I see

[A:] Faces
All around different faces I see
Some are happy, some in misery
They express joy and pain
No two faces are the same.

[R:] Playing with your life, playing with your soul
You all scream out "I'm the one in control"
Killing of the colours, silly stupid games
You know who you are without no names
Don't mess the world 'cause that the sequal
Open your mind cause we talking about the people
In the world, all kind of places
Different races, different faces

[A:] Different faces
Everywhere

Playground, voices speak again
Thoughts of how we were in my head
Tell me how we lost that innocence
Like a child waking from a dream
Everything's not what it seemed
U were never really a friend 2 me

Must've thought I couldn't see it
That u were only down 4 the ride
& out 4 urself
Now ur bound by the life u left behind

Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces

Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Is it gonna be

U pulled the wool right b4 my eyes
I was blinded by ur disguise
Young and na?ve didn't wanna face reality
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lies
Whatcha think that I'd just
Sit back and let u use me

Must've thought I couldn't see it
But the tears'll be urs instead of mine
Now the charade is over
I'm leavin you behind

Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces

Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces
Is it gonna be

Sorry's just a game
U like 2 play 2 ease the pain
But words ain't good enough
When it's all in vain
Is that what u think
I'm just that weak
That u could walk all over me

U betta think again
Cuz u kick me when I'm down
Trap me when I'm free
Cut me with your lies
Then sit back and watch it bleed
I think your losin grip
Baby ur n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces

Baby ur so good
At bein what u aint
Betta hold ur breath
Cuz Honey its 2 late
U've run right outta time
Baby your n2 deep
Tell me which one of your faces

[D.M.C.]
In your face, all the time
All in your face when I'm kickin my rhyme
All these faces in front of me
Face to face with Run-D.M.C...

[Run]
Knuckleheads in my face for a second
But I move the crowd, and I reckon
that a sucker might jump and try to bait
So kill that noise and get out my FACE (punk)
and let a real MC collect dollars
The true crew and few come from Hollis, Queens
and by all means necessary
my vocabulary is very extensive, and expensive
So hard it'll put you in intensive care
Proceed with caution
Often suckers get lost in the sauce when
faces just start speakin on faces
and leavin traces, other races be mocked
and it sparks a fight, day and night
dark and light - different types of faces

[D.M.C.]
Faces, faces
And everywhere you go you see..
Yeah yeah yeah

Break! As we come back on..
As we come back on..
All in your face, I place this rhyme!
Facin this crew, you're facin your doom
You got punched in the face
as soon as you heard this tune!

I race at a pace with no shoelaces
to racist faces, placin disgraces
Taste the bass of the racial facial
Disgraceful tasteless racist faces
Get out my face, don't bass, don't waste my time
my brother, I'm not color blind
I walk the face of the Earth, face death
face the best and I'll just
rip flip and trip won't shut up or let up
Get out my face so we can go head up
(Damn D!) Yo yo yo they don't understand me
?? when they always try to ban me
Hypin the stereotype of a face
and that's the problem with the human race
Haste makes waste, don't trace to other places
We're all the same but with different faces
..

[Jay]
Yeah D, and everywhere I go I see faces
Faces sweatin you and they sweatin faces
Around around the world, international faces
Yeah, now bust it

Yo, I took a look in the face of a girlie
The way she looks that Jay must say
somethin bout the way my afro is growin
But is it funky? (YEAH!) Well okay
Is she jockin my 'fro or my fade?
Do she want me because of my name?
I like the ladies, sweet and serious
not those hoes, that plays, the game
on every Tom Dick and Harry
Shawn Jerry John Nick Curly Moe and Larry
You thinkin you married? Well you CRAZY
my baby you won't carry
Cause I like a girl that's low-key
That's how it's gotta be to be with me
And I'll take her to all the exotic places
The name of this jam is called FACES
Yeah.. so many faces..
and everywhere I go I see faces
and everywhere you go you see, the faces
International faces, I'm a Afro and I'm outta here..

[ad libs to fade]

Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died

i want to open my heart wide,
you won't feel so all alone
but i'll try
i'll try to take you home

watching the world pass us by
we keep on running, we keep on running
the air escapes me now
so where are they now?
two years on and they're all gone
we keep on running, we keep on running
where are they now?

words seem to useless now
have you forgotten how this made you feel?

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died

what if i told you that we were better off this way
and that the air was clearer because of the change
the mood has shifted
the weight has lifted
no signs of decay
now the truth is nearer
because of the change

your words are dead and useless now
have you forgotten how?

let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source
let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source

growing old but not in age
you lost your fire
you lost your rage
maybe you never had it at all

words scribbled on a page
seem so useless in this day and age
nothing means nothing any more

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died

I like the faces you make at me
When we're lying in bed
They are always so beautiful
I like the way you tuck your body close to me
When we're sleeping it's all right
[CHORUS]
Dream your fears away
And I'll be here all day
Dry your eyes
'Cause I'm here to spend
This moment in your arms again
The forecast calls for rain to take away the day
I guess we'll just have to stay
Inside the room
I'll bring your breakfast warm to wake you
From your dream
As I lift your head upright
[CHORUS]
And so good love
The day between us comes and goes
So soon and so magical
You bring the lock
I'll bring the key to set you free
As I lay your body down
[CHORUS]
This moment now
This moment now...
This moment in your arms...
This moment in your arms again

Broken down, this place seems to have no face
There?s no one moving forward now they?re just drowning in it all
Walking around in circles with a never changing view
As hopeless as this seems there?s a reason for everything
Trust me I know
I?ve been the same places and seen the same faces that come and go
You?re left wondering now
Can you resist somehow
But you?ve fallen behind again
Not knowing where you?ve been
Just where did you begin
And again, your faces blank like they?ve always been
Ignoring everything that matters just following behind
Always pointing fingers now, no you?re never the one to blame
I know you don?t want to feel responsible for all that is real
Trust me I know

Playground, voices speak again
Thoughts of how we were in my head
Tell me how we lost that innocence
Like a child waking from a dream
Everything's not what it seemed
U were never really a friend 2 me

Must've thought I couldn't see it

Live it up, let it go
just hand over control
all the space and all the time
yea it all just passed you by

You've been so many places (woah)
and i know the feel of wearing different faces (woah)

And if you slow down
could it ever be this fun?
in a small town
with no where else to run
give it time, figure it out
get in line, and narrow it down
you'd go farther then you ever thought you could

And have you noticed this before
that you never close the door
always keep them on the line
save it for another time

You've been so many places (woah)
and i know the feel of wearing different faces (woah)

And if you slow down
could it ever be this fun?
in a small town
with no where else to run
give it time, figure it out
get in line, and narrow it down
you'd go farther then you ever thought you could

I try to us believe
the lies, the lies that you were doing everything you could

You've got a lot to change
its not too late
you've got to bring it to the light
and find the good

You've been so many places
You've been so many places

And if you slow down
could it ever be this fun?
in a small town
with no where else to run
give it time, figure it out
get in line, and narrow it down
youd go farther then you ever thought you could

(youve been so many places)
farther then you ever though you could (youve been so many places)
farther then you ever though you could (youve been so many places)
farther then you ever though you could

Did you think I'd play these games with you?
Did you think I couldn't help it?
I'm strong enough
I'm good enough
Step down step down, you're the big mistake
I'm losing all control and this is my face
From here on out you can always count on me
count on me to be your enemy, count on me

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the faces
(faces of time)
That's what you're living through
This is all about you

[Chorus]
You're slipping in and out of time, who are you to decide
which one of us winds up broken for a lifetime
and still you'll never be satified until one of us falls apart
I've had enough of this
And these are the faces

You've lost your golden reigns, you've failed to read the signs
you'll find out there's no answers to your stupid ass questions
you can try and tell yourself that everythings all right

[Pre Chorus 2]
When someone is taking all your fame
Thats what youre living through these are the faces
And I think that theyre all coming after you!

[Chorus 2]
When you're slipping in and out of time, who are you to decide
which one of us winds up broken for a lifetime
and no you'll never be satified until one of us falls apart
I've had enough of this
And these are the faces

And nothing can go away (the way you do) and nothing can go away
two faced and pretentious!

[Chorus 2 repeat]

Faces
Cracked for reason beyond recognition
Uh-huh
His space is
At the Palace, he sleeps for twenty five cents
Uh-huh
Now he's wiping headlights
Windshields with an old rag
It ain't nine to five
Down and dirty, he's an old tramp
He poses like a dead man
The night train passes by

Money's
Not the answer for princes and dancers
Uh-huh

He's standing under street lights
He's thinking of his old life
He lost his pretty young wife
The corner is his big plan
His brunch with Jim and jitters
Boston blue laws ain't for shitters
And newsprint is for cheaters
Cement mattress for believers

A dirty old bum
He's a dirty old bum
He can't say "Yes"
He can't forget it A dirty old bum

Now he's shooting power curves
His buddies think he's got some nerve
Mrs Face had other lovers
Her arms smothered other numbers

He freezes
Christmas season, all saints protect him
Uh-huh
His face is
Cracked for reason beyond recognition
Ah

Wipe the faces off the
Windows we're no longer
Looking out, oh no I
Couldn't see for
The first time but
Sight or vision never
Lead me home

We build up walls so
High that they can't
Hear our cry
Hear our cry
But nothing's done in
Accordance to Your will
But even for all of this
You love me still

Just shout as loud
As you can now

Gloria can't you see
You're bought
At a price, honor

Lonely as an east target
Faces with anger and
The panic spreads

It's almost quick
But they move
Lethargic
We walk among
The living dead

Oh no I couldn't see for
The first time but
Sight or vision never
Lead me home

I like the faces you make at me
When we're lying in bed
They are always so beautiful
I like the way you tuck your body close to me
When we're sleeping it's all right
[CHORUS]
Dream your fears away
And I'll be here all day
Dry your eyes
'Cause I'm here to spend
This moment in your arms again
The forecast calls for rain to take away the day
I guess we'll just have to stay
Inside the room
I'll bring your breakfast warm to wake you
From your dream
As I lift your head upright
[CHORUS]
And so good love
The day between us comes and goes
So soon and so magical
You bring the lock
I'll bring the key to set you free
As I lay your body down
[CHORUS]
This moment now
This moment now...
This moment in your arms...
This moment in your arms again

You've got your good advice
A lack of love
A lot to learn, get hurt
Dirty machine, you've got me clean
Please sir,
please sir

But everyone shows me faces
But everyone shows me faces
hey hey hey,
hey hey hey, yeah
But everyone shows me faces
and everyone shows me faces,
hey hey hey,
hey hey hey, yeah

What makes you think
You could get away with this
Just like a dream
Get on the scene, dismissed
I ate your heart
I hope your friends don't mind
You hate to hate a peice of me,
peice of mind
Peice of mind

Chorus

She looks good in everything
She looks good in everything
She looks good in everything
She looks good in everything

Chorus(2x)

Everything
Everything, yeah
Everything
Everything, yeah

Would you agree that we're far from alright?
(We fall below the line! We fall below the standards!)
If only you could see
What we see through these eyes
(This plague is spreading, it will sink under your skin!)

I won't believe the horror that I see
It's more than your poison inside me

Lets tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are.. No longer in disguise!

Well, I’m aware of your lies, how do you sleep at night?
(It's all a matter of time, I think they're catching on)
You dream of wars, that I refuse to fight
(While people disappear, another broken heart)

I won't believe the horror that I see
It's more than your poison inside me
I won't let go, while the plague is spreading
I won't let go

Let's tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are… No longer in disguise!

We can save ourselves
(Rise Up!)
You can't stop us
We can save our soul
(Rise Up!)
We don’t need your help
We can save ourselves
(Rise Up!)
You can’t stop us

Let's tear away these faces we hide behind
Cutting through the airwaves
Open up our minds
Show ourselves to the world tonight
Cause we are… No longer in disguise!

Tear away these faces
Tear away these faces
Tear away these faces

We're no longer in disguise!
