Rabbit Hole

I give myself very good advice
but I very seldom take it
I give myself my most solemn word
but I fear I often break it
I don't know why it's so hard for me
to behave the way I should be
My mind says I am not listening
la la la la la
I make myself very lofty goals
but I very seldom keep them
and as for rewards for self control
well, I fear I rarely reap them
It's all very well, but I stop to think
It all goes to hell when I'm on the brink
My mind says I am not listening
la la la la la
And all that advice, I've heard it before
I should be nice, reserved and demure
and if I should hear a knock on the door
I should check twice, just to be sure
and if there's a rabbit hole in the floor
I should stay put, and not go explore
but my mind says I am not listening
la la la la la la la la la la
I am not listening
la la la la la la la la la la
I am not listening
la la la la la
