 MIKE & THE MECHANICS - Hanging By A Thread Lyrics

And through the grief and pain, I'm half insane
I give an inch you take a mile
You throw away the key, ignore my plea
You cut me down without a trial
[You keep me hanging by] hanging by a thread
[You keep me hanging by] leaving me for dead
[You keep me hanging by] I heard it when you said,
[You keep me hanging by] Keep him hanging by a thread

You throw a length of rope, I grab, you hope,
It's just enough to hang myself
I make a fatal slip, I lose my grip
"5d13162s2314148 dd16h
There's no-one left to call for help

[You keep me hanging by] hanging by a thread
[You keep me hanging by] leaving me for dead
[You keep me hanging by] I'm not finished yet
[You keep me hanging by] I'm still hanging by a thread

I hear a final scream, another dream
I hear it then I start to go [hang him by a thread]
I recognise the pain, a time to play
Then stuck me to the afterglow [hang him by a thread]
Then I wake up wet, soaked in sweat
Tell you all you want to know [hang him by a thread]
