Lyrics Hanging By A Thread - 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…) 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…)
