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
