Hanging by a thread

From the tree

of this life

I've been spinning

round and round and round

Inside my flesh cocoon

An old beat up Pinto

might be what I drive for now

But I'll be driving a Cadillac soon



Cause you know one day I will fly

To my mansion in the sky

And I'll have no regrets

when I leave this place

for good

When I say my last farewell

oh, please don't forget to tell them

That I'm not really dead

I'm just changing neighborhoods



Living in this place

that is only temporary

I said that this old world

is in the process of slipping away

Though I have such a future

I've got to be wary

That my bright tomorrow doesn't blind me

to what God has for me today



Cause you know one day I will fly

To my mansion in the sky

And I'll have no regrets

when I leave this place

for good

When I say my last farewell

oh, please don't forget to tell them

That I'm not really dead

I'm just changing neighborhoods



Cause you know one day I will fly

To my mansion in the sky

And I'll have no regrets

when I leave this place

for good

When I say my last farewell

oh, please don't forget to tell them

That I'm not really dead

I'm just changing neighborhoods
