Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One more time for that
[Verse 2]
And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As you light your 27th cigarette
Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness?
You forget
Oh, you know you're getting really hard to be with
And you're cryin' every time you turn around
And you wonder why you can not pick your head up
Off the ground
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And they look at you like they don't speak your language
And you're living at the bottom of a well
And you swallowed all the awful bloody secrets, that 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, anymore
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And your hands are really shakin' something awful
As your worries crawl around inside your clothes
Ooh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness
Heaven knows
[Verse 7]
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
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light
