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
