T-Bone Burnett - Shut It Tight lyrics

I find it hard sometimes to say the way that I feel

I do the very things I hate to do

I act like a child and I'm afraid of what is real

And so I try to cover up the truth

I stumble like a drunk along this crazy path I walk

I have a hundred thousand questions too

I'll go to any length to prove that nothing is my fault

Then later on I will deny the proof

And in between is something I can't stand

I don't care what you think and I hope that you approve

I am just an ordinary man

Sometimes I want to stop and crawl back into the womb

And sometimes I cannot tell wrong from right

But I ain't gonna quit until I'm laid in my tomb

And even then they better shut it tight
