I don't understand your green eyes They sure looked blue to me You could stay and we could watch the sea rise Find shade in some raging heat I know that my face is ugly I've known since I was seventeen That there ain't no god above me Looking out for a boy whose life is so wrong So wrong So wrong I don't know, you just do what you can to hang on Hang on You just do what you can to delude yourself and stay strong (To delude yourself and stay strong) You hang on You found someone to hang on (hang on) to And if it ain't tied down you just take what you can and move on (Take what you can and move on) Please don't explain your tattoos The snake with the inverted cross 'Cause when you lay it down beside me They were neither down or up I saw how our lips were shining Leaving stains upon a silver cup Dear Lord, could you please remind me why it is you would let me sleep for so long? So long So long I don't know, you just do what you can to hang on Hang on You just do what you can to delude yourself and stay strong (To delude yourself and stay strong) You hang on You found someone to hang on to And if it ain't tied down you just take what you can and stay gone (Take what you can and stay gone) You hang on (Hang on) (Hang on) You hang on (Hang on) Hang on You hang on (hang on) Hang on (hang on) You hang on (hang on) Hang on (hang on)
