Hangin’ by a Thread (Original Version)

Hi there young man, who have life goin' on himself
So I thought, waited a long time, very long time to do this thing
He's ready, the time has come, this is his story

Hangin' by a thread I've got no cat in my bed
I'm sinking ever so discretely s-l-o
I need a taste sugar don't you know
I'm in slow motion baby
I need to cope I'm at the end of my rope

When the world comes tumbling down in my head
I just can't help but wear a frown
'Cause I'm hangin' by a thread
Standing on a ledge hangin' on
Living on the edge hangin' hangin' by a thread

So the young man moved to LA, Hollywood
City dreams, city schemes

Losing it by the hour
Trying to find me some power
My sense of humour has forsaken me I know
I need a taste sugar don't you know
So

When the world comes tumbling down in my head
I just can't help but wear a frown
'Cause I'm hangin' by a thread
Standing on a ledge hangin' on
Living on the edge hangin' hangin' by a

It's so juvenile
I know when my feelings start to show
It's just so damn hard to wait
It just makes me so frustrated
Yeah yeah

When the world comes tumbling down in my head
I just can't help but wear a frown
'Cause I'm hangin' by a thread
Standing on a ledge hangin' on
Living on the edge hangin' hangin' by a thread

Hangin' hangin' by a thread
I'm hangin' by a thread

[Heavy breathing]
