Habit

I wake up every morning and think 'today's the day

That takes this repetition and throws it all away'

I stumble to the toilet then the kitchen for some food

I cannot do without it but it's what I always do

Here's the next door neighbour discarding his T.V.

No more life in two dimensions

Less then two weeks later his face is like a screen

And now he's got a bigger one - Habit retention

It's a habit

Well I had it

And then I lost it

And now I want it back again

Manning the machinery and dreaming of the day

He'll get to see some scenery and have a holiday

And now he's won the lottery, he'll never work again

Unless of course they ask him back, the cycle never ends

It's a habit

Well I had it

And then I lost it

And now I want it back again

There's people out there travelling so fast it's just insane

Always rushing to get back there

Home is where the car is parked and then it's off again

The fear of immobility? But you're just sat there!

I want to throw it all away

I want to throw it all away

I want to throw it all away

I want to throw it all away

And now I want it back again

Now he wants it back again

You can't have it back again, no no no

Habit is invisible until it falls apart

Left clutching for security and groping in the dark

What do we relying on so much that we get bored

With having it, but losing it will make us need it more?

I'm gonna throw it all away

I'm gonna do something today

Something that I haven't done before, it

Could be almost anything

I don't want to make a habit of it

It's a habit

Well I had it

And then I lost it

And now I want it back again
