lyrics 

There Comes a Time When You Gotta Walk the Line 
And Then Another When You Leave It All Behind 
Then the Gravy Train Gets Rusted to the Rails 
You Sold Em All Your Sins and Now They're Taking You to Jail 

You Always Said I Was a Good as Dead 
I've Come to Decide That Maybe You Were Right 
Depending On the Weather, I'm the Dawn or the Dead 
Got My Thing Together but I'm Hangin By a Thread 

And Even Though I'm Down to Skin and Bones 
I Gotta Make It Living in the Aerodrome *?* 
And So It Seems I Can't Think Without Confusion 
Try to Keep It Real By Selling My Illusion 

This Is the Scene. I Feel Like Mr. Clean 
I Know the Blood That Flows In My Machine 
My Tongue's a Knife For All the Things Up In My Head 
Got My Thing Together but I'm Hangin By a Thread 

Got Six of One and a Dozen of the Other 
It Makes it Hard to Reach My Hand Out to My Brother 
I Ride the Waves Through the Trials and Tribulation 
Beats Drowning in Chronic Masturbation 

You Always Said I Was a Good as Dead 
I've Come to Decide That Maybe You Were Right 
Depending On the Weather, I'm the Dawn or the Dead 
Got My Thing Together but I'm Hangin By a Thread 

Got My Thing Together but I'm Hangin By a Thread (4x)
