Hypothetical mortal beings Known only to themselves and God Come and go and play the cameo They're just faces in cabs All the hearts that are gonna break today All the lovers who won't come home tonight Nobody feels their dynamite They're just faces in cabs They're just faces in the cabs-so I've been told Just faces in the cabs-the ma**es out there Just faces in cabs-anonymous souls Somebody cries the tears of tragedy Somebody cries the tears of joy today Nobody knows exactly what to say About the faces in cabs
Ten million in freshly dug graves Ten thousand who will die by noon today Four billion who will follow soon They're just faces in cabs They're just faces in the cabs-so I've been told Just faces in the cabs-the ma**es out there Just faces in cabs-anonymous souls All the heathen in Africa All the heathen in West L.A. today All of raging humanity Is just faces in cabs They're just faces in the cabs-so I've been told Just faces in the cabs-the ma**es out there Just faces in cabs-anonymous souls
