Lage Nom Ai

Nordstrom was a simple man
Who had some non-conformist plan
To save his ass
Every night he danced alone
And blotted out the monotone
That was his past
He packs his bag of mysteries
And leaves the lonely memories
Where they belong
They came and went so easily
This rising tide identity
Sings like a song
Lets sing
Lage nom ai nom ai When you know that life is just a game
Lage nom ai nom ai (oh!)
Hes the man who gave up his own name
In the roll of the cosmic dice
You win one heart and lose it twice
Before you know
Love is fine until you taste
This melancholy bouillabaisse
Called letting go Lage nom ai nom ai When you know that life is just a game
Lage nom ai nom ai (hey!)
Hes the man who gave up his own name
He moved on up to old beantown
And summered on the vineyard sound
To pass the day (day ay ay oh)
Island hopping crab key bound
Tendin bar he thinks hes found
A better way (ay ay ay oh)
Now were back where we belong
Without a clue and still without
A master plan (ay ay ay oh)
Incident or accident
It all depends on if youre meant
To understand (ay ay ay oh)
Lage nom ai nom ai When you know that life is just a game
Lage nom ai nom ai Hes the man who gave up his own name
Hes the man who gave up his own name
Spoken:
Eah, ol nordstroms gone. checked out. readin
The wrong kind of books… listenin to that wild
Carribbean music. he wiped himself out of his own computer.
Hes the man who gave up his own name. hes gone.
[note: lage nom ai nom ai is island patois which loosely translates:
«the man who gave up his own name."]
