Lyrics:
It's not so lonely here-sometimes it's rather fun
But no one comes too near-it's population: one
My calendar is packed with bookings
Entertainments, overlookings
I am homing in on how to best live
By increments-each step progressive
Don't you see it?
It's simple, really
You just expect a bit more than you're willing to give!
A pillow for your thoughts-your every answer is right
If you toe your own line, then there's no one to fight
Ooh! I like it in here-I may never leave
Ooh! I like it in here-I may never leave
I like it in here, but I might have to step out for a minute
(What was I thinking about?)
Never mind, it's not important, they're waiting for me
It's not so boring here, there's plenty left to see
Memories projected clear, ideas roaming free
It is quite a race to finish first in
The planets spin around my person
To choose a name for every something
Pick a why for every true ring
Can't you see it?
It's simple, really
The way you see it is the way it really is!
It's so cozy here
The walls keep out the noise and cold
Looking out the window
I'll watch as I grow old
Wait...what was that?...there!
Oh...oh!
Grow...
Drain away the excess
Pushing through the sandy ceiling
All the food I'll ever need
Protected from their trampling feet
Unfolding outside, do you see?
I couldn't have done it not-alone!
A pillow in my head
I'm all right-I'm right! I'm right!
If I talk to me this way, then I'm spoiling for a fight!
Ooh, it's crowded in here!
Still, I may never leave
I like it in here and I don't think I'll step out for a minute
(I think I'll stay)
Ok, I suppose, if I must
(Sorry, I'm busy)
But I will be back soon
(Try again later)
Hold on a second, where was the door?
