lyrics

I’m riding ever higher on the crest of a tidal wave
High above the human race and just beneath the angels and saints
Suspended in time like starlight or ancient ruins
Hanging in between Heaven and Earth in Limbo
Like an astronaut on a spacewalk
A deep sea diver with his weights off
The souls of innocents drift past God’s window
And I spend too much time in Limbo
In Limbo

Lips against the glass I speak they don’t even hear a word I say
I’m begging for forgiveness and soliciting the prayers of the saints
I’ve held out the tin cup and I stole from the golden plate
Collecting change to find my way back to Limbo
And now they ask you what you’re drinking
Anything to stop the thinking
Until this blessed state turns sinful
I spend too much time in Limbo
In Limbo
