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
