Underneith the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
The animals are trapped
They've all become my pets
And I feed them off of grass
And drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
Cuz they don't have any feeling.

And the animals Ive trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
Cause they dont have any feelings
Something in the way

And the animals Ive trapped

And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings

E|-4--4-4---4-4-4----------------4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------|
Note that the only real difference is the second chord in the chorus. It sounds similar
to the original, but not exact. Once again,
Lyrics:
Verses:
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals that I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And their living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
Its ok to eat fish
Because they don't have any feelings
Chorus: (1st chorus: 3x. 2nd chorus: 4x.)
Something in the way. Mmmm.
Something in the way, yeah. Mmmm.
