[Chorus]

Mend this careless thread

It’s gone askew

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Or pull and see how much we can undo

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

[Verse 1]

On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best

Depending on where you’re standing

And how much breath is in your chest

If it came down to it

Would you high-tail home and hide

Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride

[Chorus]

Mend this careless thread

It’s gone askew

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Or pull and see how much we can undo

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

[Verse 2]

At the heart of it all

That innermost, your fiery core

There’s an amassing armor and it’s building you into a bore

Life’s a match in a gas tank

Don’t ever mourn the ebbing tide

Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride

[Chorus]

Mend this careless thread

It’s gone askew

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Or pull and see how much we can undo

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey...

[Guitar Solo]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Chorus]

Mend this careless thread

It’s gone askew

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Or pull and see how much we can undo

(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it

Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
