Pela COCHLEA: Katrina Geenan - High & Low

ANYBODY, ANY FACE

I don't have any memory of my face
So I imagine yours in its place
I figure out how it would be
if you were me
I wonder if you wear my clothes
how it would be
if in we there would be we both
ha ha

I don't have any memory of my face
So I imagine yours in its place
I can see you walking in my house
I stare at you in my mirror

My gestures are your gestures
My hair is your hair
My eyes are blue
like the eyes of you
My body is thin under your skin

I don't have any memory of my face
So I imagine yours in its place
And your life becomes my life
And you become my husband's wife
You wash my dishes
You love my kids
You listen to my records
and watch my videotapes
I make you laugh
I make you cry
I make you swear, I make you lie
I hope you never know about this loan
But if you do I hope you understand
I am alone in this world
ha ha

I don't have anybody
I don't have any face
So I had to put somebody
in my place
ha ha
