Hanging By A Thread Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

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...)
