Lifeboy - Phish

Swinging on the lifeline

Fraying bits of twine

Entangled in the remnants of the

Knot I left behind

And asking you to help me make it

Finally unwind

But God never listens to what I say

God never listens to what I say

And you don’t get a refund

If you overpray

And when the line is breaking

And when I’m near the end

When all the time spent leading

I’ve been following instead

When all my thoughts and memories are

Left hanging by a thread

God never listens…

Stranded on this slender string

The minutes seem to last a lifetime

Dangling here between the light above

And blue below that drags me down
