Lyrics

"Beavis & Butthead experience" version (interpretation 1), (Transcription - not official)

Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my full fill

In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?
In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger pressing down to the horse pills (Think about the guys in the hospitals)
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill (You don't wanna wanna read them)

In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?
In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?

[spoken very softly behind the guitar by Kurt]
(Words are broken lives)
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.

In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?
In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?

Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my full fill

In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?
In the someday - What's that sound?
End it someday - What's that song?



"Beavis & Butthead experience" version (interpretation 2), (interpretation by DN member Nicklas...)

Running nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can COUNT on me again
I still haven't had my full fill

In the someday - What's that SONG?
End it someday - What's that SOUND?
In the someday - What's that SONG?
End it someday - What's that SOUND?

Broken heart and broken bones
Finger pressing down to the horse pills
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill

In the someday - What's that SONG?
End it someday - What's that SOUND?
In the someday - What's that SONG?
End it someday - What's that SOUND?
