(words & music by Harlan Collins)

You've been holding your tongue

And I've been holding the bag

You've been out on the town

But you're not the kind to brag

You've been spreading it 'round

And I've been going insane

But it's only the pain

You've been sucking the juice

And I've been dying of thirst

You're not the kind to kiss and tell

But I can tell you were well rehearsed

We started out in a bout with doubt

And now it's gotten from bad to worse

You're a foreign land and I'm only a tourist

And now I'm swallowed into the Limbo Room

Floating around my fate, waiting upon my doom

I'm swallowed in the Limbo Room

Dancing beneath the wire in the Limbo Room

I give you the shot in the dark,

You give me the knife in the back

Now when we speak things are awfully bleak

And it shouldn't be as bad as all that

You've got the secrets on your breath

But you're keeping them under your hat

Ain't the Shadow ashamed

I'm just a pawn in your heartless game

And now I'm swallowed into the Limbo Room

Floating around my fate, waiting upon my doom

I'm swallowed in the Limbo Room

Dancing beneath the wire in the Limbo Room
