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?
