Trap Door

Lyrics

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've got to give up your life to be alive
 You've 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 turning 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 lovable 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 out the 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
