Trap Door Songtext
von 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 got to give up your life to be alive
You 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 shining 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 loveable 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 after 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
