The Names of Things

How does this work? What do I say? To the machine today Hey This is me I'm supposed to be Leaving a message I believe you Are going insane How does this work? What do I say? When everything's coded these days And all of the words that I sent you get erased I wish I could change your mind I believe you Are going insane Put your good shoes on Head out the window It's time to go I can't go with you When we were young We knew the tall ones We lived in their caves And they taught us The names of things Now we're older And we're all the same I miss the easier days I miss the easier days I miss the easier days I miss the easier days I believe you are going insane I hope you come back someday
