If I close my eyes
|
I'm afraid I won't wake up
|
If I stop and listen
|
I'm afraid I'll hear too much
|
|
Trying to hold on to the earth
|
Holding on for what it's worth
|
|
I've got a long black cadillac
|
marble hot tub in the back
|
Champagne waterfall
|
solid gold question mark twenty feet tall
|
|
Try to paint a world of shapes
|
Over the holes as we're falling
|
The tightened grip is our mistake
|
As we're trying to hold on to the earth
|
|
Looking for his name
|
wet on brave lips carved on road
|
Look for flame and mercy
|
Hope that tired hands can hold
|
|

Holding On To The Earth
