Hanging On (For DRC) Songtext
von Mark Lanegan

By all rights we should be gone
But you and me still hangin′ on
Thousand ways we should've died
We had another land to find

In wilderness parley and overheel
Searching for more pain to kill
While in the depths of deep despair
A hand of double solitaire

Do asphalt wilds and a concrete wilds
Always with the width of smile
Do disasters and tragedy
Always to another day

Under dark skies and deepest gray
Just to find another way
Live forever, oh my friend
Only you and the devil know where I′ve been


Some say we should be gone
You and me hangin' on
The times and ways we could've died
We had other lands to find

From corner store to corner phone
Our comrades dropped like meat from bone
We have a few more hands to play
Stayin′ ′til my dying day

We've know each other all too well
Walking side by side through fields of hell
You always held your tongue
Despite what evil thing I′ve done
All that's left for you and me
Someday we will be free

Please say, "We should be gone"
You and me still hangin′ on
The darkness say we should be gone
You and me still hangin' on

You and me still hangin′ on
Mm-mmh
