Hang on Every Word Run Time: 4:23
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1997
feelings in reverse
now i hang on every word from you
too fast on the curve
now i'm straining every nerve
come through come through
you can only play the victim
for just a short amount of time
your own wounds you'll have to lick them
till the ambulance arrives
given all i've heard
hang on every word
hanging by a thread
walking here among the dead
pleased to meet you
what's with my chemistry
my falleness that strangles me
what am i crawling towards
you can only play the hero
till your mask begins to slip
and the fist on your bravado
starts to lose its sacred grip
wife ask the other day
"where's you joy did it slip away"
i could say nothing
even though i am a son
how quickly i've forgotten
but i'm yearning i'm yearning
you can only play the star
till the real truth comes to light
all those hungry tabloids
got you in the check out line overnight
Appeared On…
