[Silence]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Deep Sub-Bass, Organ, Electric Guitar Swells, Drums, Percussion, Saxophone]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nAre you hanging on?
\n(Hanging on!)
\nHow long?
\n(So long?)
\n… so long.<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nGot a grip on the railing
\nWith the wind blowin’ strong
\nWondering how we got here
\nWondering how long<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAre you…
\n(Hanging on)
\n… for how long?<\/p>\n

(I’m…)
\nHanging on
\n(… on and on…)<\/p>\n

Sing along:
\n(Hanging on!)
\nOn and on and on
\n(Hanging on!)
\nCome along<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHanging on the ledge
\n(Hanging on the edge)
\nHoping for an angle
\n(Praying for an angel)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAre you…
\n(Hanging on)
\n… for how long?<\/p>\n

(I’m…)
\nHanging on
\n(… on and on…)<\/p>\n

Sing along:
\n(Hanging on!)
\nOn and on and on
\n(Hanging on!)
\nCome along<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHow long?
\n(So long?)
\nHow strong?
\n(How long?)<\/p>\n

Till the hanging
\n(Becomes falling?)<\/p>\n

You hear mama calling?<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nHanging!
\n(On!)<\/p>\n

Hanging!
\n(On!)<\/p>\n

On and on!
\n(On and on!)<\/p>\n

Are you coming?
\n(Come along!)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental: Extended Swamp-Blues Groove \u2014 Electric Guitar, Organ, Bass, Drums, Saxophone]<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nAre you…
\n(Hanging on)
\n… for how long?<\/p>\n

(I’m…)
\nHanging on
\n(… on and on…)<\/p>\n

Sing along:
\n(Hanging on!)
\nOn and on and on
\n(Hanging on!)
\nCome along<\/p>\n

Hanging on!
\n(Hanging on!)
\nOn and on!
\n(On and on!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nAre you hanging on?
\n(Hanging on!)<\/p>\n

For how long?
\n(So long?)<\/p>\n

On and on…
\n(On and on…)<\/p>\n

Come along.
\n(So long)<\/p>\n
