Thread Bare

By M. Jay Mansfield

‘cause I’m Thread bare
so thin you can see thru me…
THREAD BARE…
Nothing else you can do to me…

Worn down but not broken…
Torn but not shattered…
Just another man…
Like I ever mattered…

I’m so thin you can see thru me…
You walk right past me..
Like there is nothing to me…
Once again you ignore me…

THREAD BARE…
You demean me…
THREAD BARE…
You deceive me…

Keep right on walking …
there ain’t nothing left you can do…
Keep right on talking…
I’m coming right behind you..

‘cause I’m Thread bare
so thin you can see thru me…
THREAD BARE…
Nothing else you can do to me…

I’m just a poor poor man …
Riding on your world…
You're just another cold cold hand…
In my face you slam your door……

Keep right on talking…
Keep right on talking…
I’m coming right behind you…
Keep right on talking…

Thread bare…
Nothing left to lose…
Thread bare…
Born hanging from the noose…

Keep right on talking…
And right on walking…
I’ll be right there…
Behind you…
