My Favorite Headache

[Verse 1]
One man standing on the plains of Abraham
Watching a damaged sunrise
One man standing near the edge of a quiet breakdown

[Refrain]
I watch the sea, it helps to anchor me
I watch the sea, it helps to anchor me

[Verse 2]
Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding
Till your paranoia calms down
Once you start watching, you keep on watching
Till you're tied up and you're spellbound

[Chorus]
Just between the ice ages anyway
I want to talk, but I haven't got too much to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

[Verse 3]
Once you start running, you keep on running
Till your muscles start to break down
Once you start falling, you keep on falling
Till you hit the cold, cold ground

[Refrain]
I watch TV, what do you want from me?
I watch TV, what do you want from me?

[Chorus]
Just between the ice ages anyway
I want to talk, I haven't got enough to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

[Verse 4]
Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding
Till you feel you're safe and sound
Once you start watching, you keep on watching
Till you're tied up and you're spellbound

[Outro]
I watch the sea, it helps to anchor me
I watch the sea, I saw it on TV
