And your hands are really shakin something awful

As you light your 29th cigarette

Oh how long have you been sittin in the darkness

You forget

Oh you know you’re gettin 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



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



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 can not bear to walk outside your door

No, you can not bear to look into the mirror

Anymore, anymore



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



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



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
