They Might Be Giants
Unpronounceable
[Verse 1: John Linnell]
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

[Chorus 1: John Linnell]
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

[Post-Chorus: John Linnell]
Real thing
Which it isn't
Stare at the static long enough
You'll be hypnotized, be hypnotized

[Verse 2: John Linnell]
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
[Chorus 2: John Linnell]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: John Flansburgh]
Found
Found your sound
Wound down and nearly drowned
Lying on the ground

[Chorus 3: John Linnell, John Linnell & John Flansburgh]
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
