Find yourself looking at my face in your local Record Town
You notice half my face is on the front, then look around
If you look around the cover, you see a slowly balding man
Who's got a cool job, and a lot of respect, who does all he can

We always need to see both sides of the face
Both sides of the face

Don't shatter the glass on my cd in the middle of the night
And if you bought it on tape, you'd still better take my advice
You see all my album covers, they all got close-ups of my face
It's because I really like it, it helped get me to this place

You always need to see both sides of my face
Both sides of my face

And the lights are all on, photos are taken now
Yet another of my face, for my next album now
Be sure, to not close your eyes
Don't walk away from here
'Til you see both sides, no no no no

The album's all gathered in what seems to be the center of my nose
I got one eye on each side, half my nose and lips, you know
For all you know I could only have half a face
That they put on both sides of the album, so it doesn't look misplaced

Nah, I still got both sides of my face
Both sides of my face

And the lights are turned off, photos were taken now
People look at my face, I must not fail them now
I'm sure, before I close my eyes
Another photo taken
Including both sides, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can't turn the corner without seeing pictures of my face
Makes me realize, I really like this place
Then I find out, I'm in the record store
And people are staring at me, now I'm really bored

We always need to see both sides of the face
Both sides of the face
