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 compassion

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 lovable 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

Watch out for the trap door

Watch out for the trap door

Watch out for the trap door

Watch out for the trap door
