Gossamer Thread Songtext / Lyric

Talking with the old folks by the wall

And dreaming 'bout New Orleans in the fall

And grateful for the time that God allows

And doing your best to keep it hid

Hanging by a gossamer thread



Roll on up, it's feeding time again

A kiss to suck the lightning from the pain

I'm hatching us a plan for busting out

And free of what that bastard did

Hanging by a gossamer thread



All lit up like the National Grid

And hanging by a gossamer thread

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Choking on your daily bread

Hanging by a gossamer thread






Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool, away



Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool, away



Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool, away



Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool

Dog in the doorway

Dyed in the wool, away



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah



I hope that I'm wrong

I hope that I'm wrong

I hope that I'm wrong

Yeah



I hope that I'm wrong

Hope that I'm wrong

I hope that I'm wrong

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
