Hangin' on

As the city sleeps I'm on fire
And I'm burning deep shades of red
Drag myself to an open field
and I'm hanging on
I'm just hanging on

And the king, he screams
"Look out, darling!
The spear's coming towards your way!"
I lay it down in a sorry garden
I'm hanging on
I'm just hanging on

And I will someday see this in a different,
I will someday see this in a different light

And I'm an enemy of certaincy
And a lover of the things that remain unseen
Oh don't tell me what the days may bring
I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on

And I will someday see this in a different,
I will someday see this in a different light

I've been looking for the man who shot me down
So I can get the blame right off myself
Baby, hit the ground, it's the day we sound
I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on, on
