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 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)
