"Creature Of Habit" lyrics

"Creature Of Habit"

I think we need to figure out who's coming to your birthday
2000 online's a pretty bad strike rate
Making up words with my brother in the backseat
Stained glass pine trees, I think that's where you'll find me
Now I gotta think about my wrists when I ollie
And now I gotta think about everyone that's not me
When I was sneaking out I kinda wished that you caught me
Shiny silver pinball, does anybody want me?

Bouncing around, up and down
Falling asleep on a peach-coloured couch
In my parent's house all inside out
Filling up scrapbooks when I'm down

Thinkin' about my lineage, genetics and the reasoning
I think I like the company - the parasite I'm keeping him
High school friends, well, I only got two now
That's more than enough for someone who figured out
How to say, "I love you" ten years late
And how to stay still and leave food on my plate
How to get covered in white house paint
With the love of your life, my god, she's a saint

8-seater, 12-seater rental car
I think I hate drinking but I love this part
Green, red, white flag
Waking up already sad
Benny, you're a moody bitch
I think you need to call your dad

Now you sit like a cobweb catching the wind
All of the animal kingdom saying, "Oh you poor thing!"
You couldn't catch a real feeling, you resigned and gave in
You're just a creature of habit come on, take it all in

Face level with the floor looking at the carpet
Focus on the dust in the rental apartment
Guilty as a warlord, standing on bodies
I really gotta find a less painful hobby
The shed got filled in two weeks flat
I guess that tells you a lot about that
All the jaded stowaways waiting for the call out
Dying at a desk job, trying to keep their thoughts down

"Ben's got a gig, did you hear he's got a gig?"
"We should all go, yeah they're getting pretty big now"
"Something 'bout Slowly, maybe it was softly"
Fuck my life, this is always gonna haunt me

Now you sit like a cobweb catching the wind
All of the animal kingdom saying, "Oh you poor thing!"
You couldn't catch a real feeling, you resigned and gave in
You're just a creature of habit come on, take it all in

Come on, take it all in
Come on, take it all in
Come on, take it all in
Come on, take it all in

Come on, take it all in
Come on, take it all in
Come on, take it all in (You're just a creature of habit)
Come on, take it all in
