Lyrics

"Nevermind" version

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
Something in the way, mmmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmmm
