ooh, watching my feet and the swelling
it's not very pretty, I tell thee
jumping off stage is quite scary
and not very sensible either
I danced and I pranced and got eager
I jumped the wrong way, tarsus a-breachin'
before it did happen to me in
the United States, on tour

ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
ow ow ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

injury's a habit, injury's a habit
injury's a habit, injury's a habit

ooh, I tumbled out of the airplane
the bandages' itch drove me insane
I stood and I tore 'em right off me
saw that the things were quite gory
then jumped on one foot down in Lisbon
to surf on a crowd, but they backed off
if I wasn't KO, well, I'd be squeaking
I'm not very sensible

ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
ow ow ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

injury's a habit, injury's a habit
injury's a habit, injury's a habit

and if there ain't an ankle left to tear
I'll just rock around in my wheelchair

ooh, watch both my feet and the swelling
don't try this at home, please, I tell thee
jumping off stage is still merry
though not very sensible

ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
ow ow ow ow ow, ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

ooooohhhhh....
oooooooohhhhhh!!!!
oooooooooooohhhhhhh!!!!!

injury's a habit, injury's a habit
injury's a habit, injury's a habit

and if there ain't an ankle left to tear
I'll just rock around in my wheelchair
injury's a habit
injury's a habit
injury's a habit
injury's a habit
