The Naming of Things

You remind me of you

The way you shot right through and how

You broke my window glass

Fast, it happened so fast

I have to confess that I

That I was impressed, that I

That I was impressed, that I

Despite all the mess and the broken glass

I was impressed

Here's where I disappeared

Where I fell off the pier

And to, and to be rescued I did wait

I watched water bugs skate

As they draw figure eights, as they draw

From the bottom of the lake, as they draw

I watched water bugs skate, as they draw

From the bottom of the lake, I watched the water bugs skate

Memories like mohair sweaters

Stretched and pilled, faux-distressed letters

Moose's horns and figure eights

White plastic bags in search of mates

What suffocates the land

In memory of garbage can

In memory of garbage can

But you, you can't be found when the bell rings

You weren't there that day for the naming of things

The naming of things

The naming of things

When your homeroom bell rings

And then your homeroom bell...

One, two, three, four

Hey, just look at the mess you made today

You really didn't think it would get this bad

Hey, you feel like you're living in a Russian play

Where it seems like you've made everybody mad

'Cause you remind me of you

When you shot through

And broke my window glass

It happened so fast

I have to confess

I was impressed

Yeah, I was impressed

Despite all the mess and the broken glass

I was impressed

You, you can't be found when the bell rings

You weren't there that day for the naming of things

Naming of things

Naming of things

When your homeroom bell rings

And then your homeroom bell rings

It's the naming of things

The naming of...
