Nomenclature

Just think of the lives you could swap with your own

While you're selling your coats, you're sewing your own

And though it's not the easy way

Sometimes we've got to pay to play

With finger paints and macramé

It's time we asked the See 'n Say

Could you bring a different nomenclature?

Now the colors have bled to gray

To ones that don't exist in nature

A nomenclature's washing away, washing away

A nomenclature's washing away, washing away

But did it carry you away, carry you all away?

Did it carry you away, carry you all away?

Nomenclature's washing away, oh it's washing us all away

Nomenclature's washing away, oh it's washing us all away
