Holding On To The Earth

(album: Boomerang - 1997)

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, ah...

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, ah...

Try to paint a world of shapes
Over the fools that we're falling
Silent kiss is our mistake
And 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 wood
Look for flame and mercy
Broke and trying
Hands get numb

Trying to hold on to the earth
Trying to hold on to the earth
Holding on for what it's worth, oh...

Trying to hold on to the earth, oh...
Trying to hold on to the earth
