Threads

Hanging on a fish hook

For all the world to see

Walking on a tightrope

Take another piece of me

Step on up and get in line

No chance that you'll be first

Come on down and hang around

You know it could be worse

Clinging to a worn out line

That's seen much better days

Hanging on by just a thread

Watching as it frays

All I need is a little more time

Do you have some you can spare?

Mister, can I borrow a dime

To call someone who cares?
