Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Unpronounceable

Time stopped

When you said hello

When you left

The clock began to breathe again

Now all I do is think about

The puzzle that remains

Your name it is unpronounceable

Distorted and illegible

I never figured out what that was

If I couldn't then I doubt I ever will

Rewind the tape, review the blur

Never the same, but still obscure

Turn up the sound and hear the white noise

Zoom and enhance if that were even a

Real thing

Which it isn't

Stare at the static long enough you'll

Be hypnotized be hypnotized

Now I spend

My days and nights

Looking at

A depression on the sofa

And over time it flattens out

But I am still depressed

Your name it is unpronounceable

Distorted and illegible

I never figured out what that was

If I couldn't then I know I never will

Rewind the tape, review the blur

Never the same, but still obscure

Turn up the sound and hear the white noise

Stare at the static and be hypnotized

Found

Found your sound

Wound down and nearly drowned

Lying on the ground

Your name it is unpronounceable

Distorted and illegible

I never figured out what that was

If I couldn't then I know I never will

Rewind the tape, review the blur

Never the same, but still obscure

Turn up the sound and hear the white noise

Stare at the static and be hypnotized
