lyrics

You’re a guest in my mind
You keep my eyes on the skies
Both feet on the ground
And my shoes tied

You talk me down from the ledge
When things get to me
When there’s nowhere to go
Swim upstream

Hung by a thread
And held by the hand
Over the edge
Hung by a thread

When life’s breaking me down
You pick me up off my knees
And so piece by piece
You reconstruct me

You put my heart in its place
When it falls outta my sleeve
And then without a trace
You take your leave

Hung by a thread
And held by the hand
Over the edge
Hung by a thread

about

The Fangs of the Dodo Bath, UK

“The Fangs of the Dodo are a rag-tag gang of violent
criminals led by the vampire Count Dodo on a mission
to conquer the Rock world. Described by some as Art
Pop meets Goth Rock, it is said that no one has ever
survived a Fangs concert to tell the tale. It is fabled
that their electrifying stage show is a sight to behold,
even if it might be your last. Don’t miss it.” ... more
