Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : Brian Eno/David Byrne/Jerry Harrison/Tina Weymouth/Chris Frantz

[00:19.956] He would see faces in movies, on TV, in magazines, and in books
[00:27.484] He thought that some of these faces might be right for him
[00:32.053] And that through the years
[00:33.528] By keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind
[00:37.896] Or somewhere in the back of his mind
[00:40.441] That he might, by force of will
[00:44.435] Cause his face to approach those of his ideal
[00:49.535] The change would be very subtle
[00:54.137] It might take ten years or so
[00:59.229] Gradually his face would change its shape
[01:03.639] A more hooked nose
[01:06.340] Wider, thinner lips
[01:09.852] Beady eyes
[01:14.541] A larger forehead
[01:28.666] He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people
[01:34.234] They had also molded their faces according to some ideal
[01:39.121] Maybe they imagined that their new face
[01:41.768] Would better suit their personality
[01:44.368] Or maybe they imagined that their personality
[01:48.844] Would be forced to change to fit the new appearance
[01:58.709] This is why first impressions are often correct
[02:08.294] Although some people might have made mistakes
[02:13.328] They may have arrived at an appearance
[02:16.170] That bears no relationship to them
[02:19.015] They may have picked an ideal appearance
[02:22.340] Based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse
[02:28.652] Some may have gotten halfway there
[02:33.156] And then changed their minds
[02:47.687] He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
