When your hands are really shaking something awful
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette
Oh how long have you been sittin' in the darkness
You forget...
And you know you're getting really hard to be with
And you're crying everytime you turn aroun
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up
Off the ground...
CHORUS
Oh my crazy baby
Trying to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light.
And they look at you like they don't speak your language
And you're living at the bottom of a well
And you swallowed all the awufl bloody secrets
That you can't tell...
Oh you know you ought to get yourself together
But you cannot bear to walk outside your door
No you cannot bear to look into the mirror
Anymore...
CHORUS
Oh my crazy baby
Trying to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light
The light the light the light
Oh your hands are really shaking something awful
As your worries crawl around inside your clothes
For how long will you be sitting in the darkness
Heaven knows...
CHORUS:
Oh my crazy baby
Trying to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the
light, the light, the light. |
