Dancing In Limbo

He said Baby don't go

So she sat down again

And they said they'd be friends

Her mother said

She'd told her so

She'd made her own bed

Now she'd have to lie in it



And the time goes

Summertime slow

And the world stops turning

And they're dancing in limbo, limbo, limbo



Took my pills today

But I don't feel better

In a funny sort of way

When it's too hot for anything

It's too hot to sleep

Your mind runs down to where

The river runs deep



And the time goes

Summertime slow

And the world stops turning

And you're dancing in limbo, limbo, limbo



His dream, peaches and cream

A cheesecake Betty from the celluloid screen

So close he holds out a hand

But she sleeps like a woman

And he wakes like a man



And the time goes

Summertime slow

And the world stops turning

And they're dancing in limbo, limbo, limbo
