Pendulous Threads Lyrics by Incubus

Light Grenades

2006

[Chorus]
Mend this careless thread
It’s gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

[Verse 1]
On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best
Depending on where you’re standing
And how much breath is in your chest
If it came down to it
Would you high-tail home and hide
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride

[Chorus]
Mend this careless thread
It’s gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

[Verse 2]
At the heart of it all
That innermost, your fiery core
There’s an amassing armor and it’s building you into a bore
Life’s a match in a gas tank
Don’t ever mourn the ebbing tide
Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride

[Chorus]
Mend this careless thread
It’s gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey, hey, hey...

[Guitar Solo]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Chorus]
Mend this careless thread
It’s gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
