Lyrics
I can feel the spikes again
Protruding through my skin
So will you keep your distance, please?
You might make the acquaintance of
The hedgehog in me
I'm losing grip again...
I'm giving way again...
I'm losing ground again...
The ground gives way again
And it was nice to see the sun
And lie stretched out in its rays
But something drags me underground
Makes me want to burrow deep
The mole in me claims to know better
I'm losing grip again...
I'm giving way again...
I'm losing ground again...
The ground gives way again
September is the time for me
To drop again, to hide
To curl up and sleep my life away
It always tends to be that way
The door mouse in me gets pretty tired
Don't you worry, don't you fret
When I am acting strange
I'm just some funny animal
It struggles, bites and bolts and hides
and shies away and spends the day in doubt of everything
I'm losing grip again...
I'm giving way again...
I'm losing ground again...
The ground gives way again
The ground gives way again
I'm losing ground...
I'm losing ground...
again again again...
