Holding On To The Earth Lyrics - Sam Phillips

If I close my eyes 

I'm afraid I won't wake up 

If I stop and listen 

I'm afraid I'll hear too much 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Trying to hold on to the earth, earth 

I've got a long black Cadillac 

Marble hot tub in the back 

Champagne waterfall 

Solid gold question mark twenty feet tall 

Solid gold question mark twenty feet tall 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Holding on for what it's worth, worth 

Try to paint a world of shapes 

Over the holes as we're falling 

The tightened grip is our mistake 

As we're trying to hold on, hold on, hold on 

Trying to hold on, hold on to the earth 

Looking for his name 

Wet on brave lips carved on road 

Look for flame and mercy 

Hope that tired hands can hold 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Trying to hold on to the earth 

Holding on for what it's worth, worth 

Trying to hold on to the earth, earth 

Trying to hold on to the earth
