And your hands are really shaking something awful
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette
Oh, how long have you been sitting in the darkness
You forget...
Oh, you know you're getting really hard to be with
And you're crying every time you turn around
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up
Off the ground...
Oh, my crazy baby
Try 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've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets
But 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...
Refrão
And your hands are really shaking something awful
As your worries climb around inside your clothes
Oh, how long will you be sitting in the darkness
Heaven knows...
