Nomenclature

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 we've got to pay to play With finger paints and macrame It's time we asked the sea and say Could you bring a different nomenclature? Now the colors have bled to gray To ones that don't exist in nature A nomenclature is washing away, washing away A nomenclature is washing away, washing away But did it carry you away, carry you all the way? Did it carry you away, carry you all the way? Nomenclature's washing away, oh it's washing us all away Nomenclature's washing away, oh it's washing us all away --- Nomenclature - Andrew Bird
