T Bone Burnett - Holding Onto The Earth lyrics

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 Trying to hold on to the earth Trying to hold on to the earth, ah... I've got a long black Cadillac Marble hot tub in the back Champagne waterfall Solid gold question mark Twenty feet tall Solid gold question mark Twenty feet tall Trying to hold on to the earth Trying to hold on to the earth Holding on for what it's worth, ah... Try to paint a world of shapes Over the fools that we're falling Silent kiss is our mistake And we're trying to hold on, hold on, hold on Trying to hold on Hold on to the earth Looking for his name Wet on brave lips Carved on wood Look for flame and mercy Broke and trying Hands get numb Trying to hold on to the earth Trying to hold on to the earth Holding on for what it's worth, oh... Trying to hold on to the earth, oh... Trying to hold on to the earth
