Pendulous Threads

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
On a burning bridge your options are minimal at best
Depending on where you're standing
And how much breath is in your chest
If it came down to it
Would you high-tail home and hide?
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
At the heart of it all
That innermost, your fiery core
There's an amassing armor
It's building you into a bore
Life's a match in a gas tank
Don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!
Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
(Hey hey hey hey)
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back & pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
