Mike + The Mechanics - Hanging by a Thread

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 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 recognize 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)
