lyrics
All sides are wanting answers - today's the day I speak
I'm almost overpowering my mighty cowardly streak
But wait... oh no.
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be held responsible for anything
The fire service are here
A man is yelling at me
"You must inform us where you are
Or how can we be there to help you out?"
I like the slugs and insects
(This hole is home)
We've all become good friends
(Drip, drip, damp down here, we like to chuckle and to scuttle)
And they don't judge my feelings
(If you fall down, drip drip, damp down here)
Not like the ones up there
(Don't be scared we're all your friends)
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be held responsible for anything
(Tick tock, take stock, drip drop, time to stop)
A crowd have gathered to see
I wonder why that should be
It's not like I'm important - just ignore me, I'm exhausted
Please don't shout.
If you think I'm in trouble now
You should have seen me just an hour ago
They swarm, these painful choices - close my eyes and fall....
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be deemed of rational mind
At this current time
If your enquiry's really urgent
Leave a message with the earthworms
If they pass it on, I will respond, if I re-emerge.
I'm almost overpowering my mighty cowardly streak
But wait... oh no.
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be held responsible for anything
The fire service are here
A man is yelling at me
"You must inform us where you are
Or how can we be there to help you out?"
I like the slugs and insects
(This hole is home)
We've all become good friends
(Drip, drip, damp down here, we like to chuckle and to scuttle)
And they don't judge my feelings
(If you fall down, drip drip, damp down here)
Not like the ones up there
(Don't be scared we're all your friends)
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be held responsible for anything
(Tick tock, take stock, drip drop, time to stop)
A crowd have gathered to see
I wonder why that should be
It's not like I'm important - just ignore me, I'm exhausted
Please don't shout.
If you think I'm in trouble now
You should have seen me just an hour ago
They swarm, these painful choices - close my eyes and fall....
I've fallen into a hole
Therefore lost all control
Thus can not be deemed of rational mind
At this current time
If your enquiry's really urgent
Leave a message with the earthworms
If they pass it on, I will respond, if I re-emerge.
