And your hands are really shakin somethin awful

As you light your twenty-seventh 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 cannot 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've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets

But 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

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 somethin awful

As your worries climb around inside your clothes

Oh 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
