Lyrics
Hanging by a Thread by Mark Shapiro Sept. 2010
In a moment they'll be reaching for the big guns
Having held back for a not so very long time
You laid your cards on the table - thinking honesty will save you
Ah, but life goes on ........and you're still....... hanging by a thread
The world.... never did make sense to you
You can't confine yourself to ordinary folk You made your choice of living .....you had to take what they were giving
Ah, but life goes on .....and you're still........ hanging by a thread
You make your representations You walk where angels fear to tread
But life goes on....and you're still....hanging by a thread
You never ask for something for nothing
You always pay your respects
You walked through the front door.....but they didn't see you coming But life goes on....and you're still hanging by a thread
