The Trick

Stuck on a mountain, nobody around
Just the valley below, and you can't get down
You're s'posed to be somewhere, you're bound to be late
S'posed to be someone that you created

I heard the trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)
I heard the trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)

You sing like a bird, and you bring on tears
You feel yourself shakin', yeah, crippling fear
Like your heart won't open, that last little bit
And you're almost there, but you still give a shit

I heard the trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)
Trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)

Helpless hopeless all the way stuck
The trick is not to give a damn
Good luck

Whoa
Yeah, go
Go, go, go
Yeah, go
Here I come, here I come

Pounding of hammers, the tick of the clock
Wakin' up rude, your mind won't stop
Trucks in the alley and they're hauling in nails
Finishing up that soul for sale
Wish it would rain, shut it all down
Wash it away, clean up the town
I wish you could die every now and then
And wake up fresh, start over again

Yeah, she hugged me tight, didn't breathe for a while
Coulda died right then, with a big old smile
But you know things change, like it's all for naught
Where she kissed my cheek, I still feel the spot
I still feel the spot

Yeah, the trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)
The trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)
Yeah, the trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)
The trick is not to give a damn
(The trick is not to give a damn)

Well, helpless, hopeless, all the way stuck
The trick is not to give a damn
Good luck
Yeah, good luck
Ooh, hoo, hoo
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh, ah, hahaha
