Lyrics

Ernie's Got a Problem

Ernie sits down with a headache

He's been thinking

"how do i say what i want to

When all i've got are

Words, just words?"

Language can never fit the world

All of my attempts are failures

Language can never fit the world

All of my attempts are failures

So, what now?

What now?

Ernie's frustrations are growing

He's turned to music

"how do you hear what i'm saying

When all i've got are

Notes, just notes?"

Language can never fit the world

All of my attempts are failures

Language can never fit the world

All of my attempts are failures

So, what now?

What now?
