Lyrics
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 hightail 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
Well, 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! 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)
