Lyrics

I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it
This is a song from under the floorboards
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell about that
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I know the highest and the best
I accord them all due respect
But the brightest jewel inside of me
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity
This is a song from under the floorboards
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell about that
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
And then I just got tired
This is a song from under the floorboards
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell about that
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a song from under the floorboards
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell about that
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(Habit)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(Habit)
