Bad Habits

Ben Harper

I got a bad habit slowly sinkin' in
I got a bad habit now slowly sinkin' in
Got me hearin' voices, seein' through my skin

When a man gives you his hat, he's livin' on borrowed time
When a man gives you his hat, he's livin' on borrowed time
The shoe fits so I wore it but I left one lace untied

Just a bad habit now of wantin' what I need
Got a bad habit of wantin' what I need
I may have been born to buy, I ain't never been free

I cry once a day, it's a condition of the heart
Oh, I cry once a day, Lord, it's a condition of the heart
You're like a puzzle in a box but I'm the one comin' all apart

Got a bad habit, you know the one I mean
I got a bad habit now, you know the one I mean
No before, no after, only inbetween

It's a bad habit, buries me in the dark
Got a bad habit now, buryin' me in the dark
'Til the only light is a match that just won't spark
The only light, only light
