Holding On To The Earth

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 Holding on for what it's worth I've got a long black Cadillac marble hot tub in the back Champagne waterfall solid gold question mark twenty feet tall 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 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
