Burton Cummings - Hang On To Your Life lyrics

[Verse 1] Thinking about the people gone by Screaming that I don't want to die Well, you can push your head But don't you push it too far Thinking about it's here and it's real Wondering how I really should feel Well, you can sell your soul But don't you sell it too cheap [Chorus] Hang on to your life, life, life Hang on to your life [Verse 2] Thinking about betraying a friend We're thinking about delaying the end Well, you can ride the wind But don't you ride it too high [Chorus][x3] [Verse 3] They gaped upon me with their mouths As a ravening and a roaring lion I am poured out like water And all my bones are out of joint My heart is like wax It is melted in the midst of my bowels My strength is dried up like a potsherd And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws And thou hast brought me into the dust of d**h
