T Bone Burnett - Trap Door lyrics

It's a funny thing about humility As soon as you know you're being humble You're no longer humble It's a funny thing about life You've got to give up your life To be alive You've got to suffer to know compa**ion You can't want nothing if you want satisfaction Tonight the world looks like a different place Tonight the moon is turning in its place Tonight we find ourselves alone at last Watch out for the trap door Watch out for the trap door It's a funny thing about love The harder you try to be loved The less loveable you are It's a funny thing about pride When you're being proud You should be ashamed You find only pain if you seek after pleasure You work like a slave if you seek out the leisure Tonight the world looks like a different place Tonight the moon is shining on your face Tonight we find ourselves alone at last Watch out for the trap door Watch out for the trap door
