Trap Door Lyrics - Singles - T Bone Burnett

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
