He knows he hasn't got that much to lose

He sees nothin' in the looking glass

Names, tags, numbers, labels

While my name for you is beautiful
Your name for me is fool

Somehow the ball game doesn't interest him
Isn't this where it all begins?

Her sister always was the pretty one
Lonely
Names, tags, numbers, labels

There's no escape
'cause time will do a number on us all
Your age is scrawled across the office wall
Old man
Labels
You gave me mine
At the time I took it casually

Sucker
Names, tags, numbers, labels
