Nomenclature Lyrics

Andrew Bird

Just think of the lives you could swap with
your own
While you're selling your coats
You're sewing your own
You know it's not the easy way
Sometimes you have to pay to play
With fingerpaints and macrame'
It's time we asked the see and say

Could you bring a different nomenclature
Now the colors have bled to grey
To ones that don't exist in nature

Our nomenclature's washing away
Washing away
But did it carry you away
Carry you all away
Bum bum bum

But did it carry you away
Nomenclature's washing away
Washing us all away
