the habit A song about being defensive about an addiction. © 1989 CHRIS BUTLER/© 1989 FUTURE FOSSIL MUSIC (BMI)
WHY STOP? I FEEL LIKE I'M SWIMMING IN GINGER ALE THROUGH A WORLD OF COTTON DUMB MOTION BOLD ACTION IN A VACUUM JUST BOUNCES OFF THE WALLS AND GOES ON FOREVER 'TILL IT BENDS AROUND AND SEES ITS OWN REAR END SENSITIVE, AREN'T WE? DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT, DO WE? IT'S A TOUCHY SUBJECT SMILE, BLUSH AND LOOK AT YOUR FEET YOU DO... DON'T YOU? YOU DO!... DON'T YOU! TELL ME... I WON'T JUDGE YOU NO BLAME, NO WRONG, NO RIGHT IT'S JUST A HABIT NOW, ONLY THOSE WITH IT CAN UNDERSTAND THOSE WITHOUT IT SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND SAY YOU'RE WEAK CALL IT A DISEASE TSK TSK TSK YOU LOOK AWFUL, THEY SAY YOU SHOULD SEE IT FROM IN HERE, YOU SAY EVERY TRY TO PUNCH YOUR WAY OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD? YEP...HE'S ONE UH HUH... HER TOO ME? I'VE ALWAYS DONE IT I WAS BORN WITH IT SO I DON'T GET TOO EXCITED ANYMORE EASY DOES IT ONE DAY AT A TIME I CHOOSE MY FRIENDS AND LOVERS BY THOSE THAT DO IT IT COLORS MY POINT OF VIEW, BUT I LIVE AROUND IT I'VE HAD NO JOB PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF IT I DON'T GO OUT OF MY WAY LOOKING FOR IT I DREAM CONSTANTLY OF BEING FREE OF IT WANNA MAKE SOMETHING OF IT? MY HABIT?
