Verse 1
Nordstrom was a simple man
Who hatched a 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
Chorus
Lage nom
ai-nom ai
When you know that life is just a game
Lage nom ai-nom ai
He's the man who
gave up his own name
Verse 2
In the roll of 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
Chorus
Lage nom ai-nom ai
When you know that life is just a
game
Lage nom ai-nom ai
He's the man who gave up his own name
Verse 3
He
moved on up to old bean town
And summered on the vineyard sound, to pass the day
Island
hopping, crab cay bound
Tending bar he thinks he's found a better way
Now wer'e back where
we belong
Without a clue and still without a master plan
Incident or accident
It all
depends on if you're meant to understand
Chorus
Lage nom-ai nom-ai
When you
know that life is just a game
Lage nom ai-nom ai
He's the man who gave up his own name (x2
