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 they'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
When he wakes like a man

And the time goes summertime slow
And the world stops turning
And they're dancing in limbo, limbo, limbo
