Rear Window - Head Above Water Lyrics

Mind my P's & Q's
Choose
Words carefully
More speed, less haste
Less jokes made in bad taste
Swallow
These things I'm wanting to say
I'm one day away
From my last payday

You think you got it made
Best plans all laid
Rain falls on parades
And you're at the mercy
Of somebody's bad day.
Wrong side of bed
Feeling down-
Does your house of cards
Fall to the ground?

I'm hanging by a thread
I'm doing my best
To keep my head
My head above the water

Has cheap credit got you on the run?
You did your sums
But there's no fun
Spinning in a death spiral
It's a race to the bottom all the while
You smile down at the unfortunate ones
But you flew too close to the sun - didn't you?

I'm hanging by a thread
I'm doing my best
To keep my head
My head above the water

You know I'm hanging by a thread I'm doing my best
To keep my head
My head above the water.
Do me a favour

I promise I'll be on my best behaviour
You know what they say
Love thy neighbour-
Yeah Love thy neighbour
Come on and do me a favour."
