Hanging On A String

Woke up in a house on fire

In a basement full of smoke

Blame it on a faulty wire

Or last night's final toke

Gotta get moving

Gotta get moving

Big Nate wouldn't wake

I didn't hesitate

Pulled my buddy right out the door

Wound up in a barrel roll

Like a sock in a spin dryer

Had to kick the windshield window

Before the whole thing caught on fire

I Gotta get out of here

Gotta get out of here

I wasn't drunk I fell asleep

I swear I'm just so tired

You try to keep the ball rolling

When you're hanging on a string

You don't go for the brass ring

When you're hanging on a string

Can't do a damn thing

When you're hanging on a string

Came in on a big airplane

Approaching Germany

When a broken landing gear

Put us in a 360

No hesitating

Gotta get evacuating

I kissed the ground when I got down

As I fell down on my knees

Gotta keep on praying

When you're hanging on a string

Can't go for the brass ring

When you're hanging on a string

This Rock and Rollin's

Got me hanging on a string

You can't do a damn thing

When life's got you

Hanging on a string

Got caught in Vegas bed

Saw a blue dress on the floor

Last night came back to my head

As I heard banging on the door

I gotta get out of here now

Gotta get out of here

I said thank you Mam'

but if that's your man

I'm going out the window

Gotta keep on moving

When you're hanging on a string

Can't help but swing

When you're hanging on a string

You try to keep the ball rolling

When you're hanging on a string

You don't go for the win

When you're hanging on a string

This Rock and Rollin's

Got me hanging on a string

You can't do a damn thing

When life's got ya

Hanging on a string
