I Could Name This Thing

If I could name this thing
Then I wouldn’t be asking
I could name this thing
But I wouldn’t know why
I could control myself
Then you wouldn’t be laughing all the time

Hey Ho! Here we go again
Mud lines running through the brain
On fire, just a little taste
Just a taste.

Living in a perfect world wouldn’t everybody be happy?
Living in a perfect world wouldn’t everybody be sad?

If I could name this thing
Then I wouldn’t be asking
I could name this thing
But I wouldn’t know why
I could control myself
Then I wouldn’t be laughing all the time

All hail the window cleaner man
Long hose extending from his van
He makes the view outside so bright
Nice ‘n bright

I’ve got so much to tell you and I think it’s gonna make you feel happy
I’ve only got a minute; I don’t want to have to make you feel sad

In a perfect world wouldn’t everybody feel happy? Happy.

I could control myself
Then I wouldn’t be laughing all the time
I could name this thing
Then I wouldn’t be asking
I control myself
But I wouldn’t know why
I can control myself
Then I wouldn’t be laughing all the time

In a perfect world.
