lyrics

Time & time again,
when I’m happy most of the time, I feel
like I’m stealing from a department store waiting
for someone to yell as I walk through the door,
“stop right there!” as the alarm starts to mewl,
and it’s like it’s this hundred pound jewel –
I’m gonna have to drop if I wanna get away.
Point is, you want to be happy, you gotta pay.
I am, I am

time & time again.
But I don’t mind the working for it,
and the truth is: I don’t even mind money.
It’s not really evil, per se. It’s like honey.
A busy bee will sting the hell out of you
if you get your nose too close to the loot.
I just hope he don’t forget the flowers
while he’s all tallying up his hours.
I am, I am.

But you’re a birthday, deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak, the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.
