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
And 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
