Hanging by a thread from the tree of this life
I've been spinning 'round and 'round and 'round inside my flesh cocoon
An old beat up Pinto might be what I drive for now
But I'll be driving a Cadillac soon

'Cause you know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets when I leave this place for good
When I say my last farewell
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead, I'm just changing neighborhoods

Living in this place that is only temporary
I said that this old world is in the process of slowly slipping away
Though I have such a future I've got to be wary
That my bright tomorrow doesn't blind me to what God has for me today

'Cause you know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets when I leave this place for good
When I say my last farewell
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead, I'm just changing neighborhoods

'Cause you know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets when I leave this place for good
When I say my last farewell
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead, I'm just changing neighborhoods
