[Verse 1]
Warm air Summer stroll
Weightless floating over
Cracked and crooked sidewalks, broken
Lawns lined with peonies
Front porch neighbors wave
But I feel so unsure if they can really see
[Pre 1]
That I’m living in the past tense
Presently a presence stuck in time
Waiting out my sentence
Paying off a debt that isn’t mine
Still lingering in Limbo singing
[Chorus]
I’m not really here
I’m far off in some other location
After all these years
It shows
I’ve turned into a plain clothed ghost
[Verse 2]
Specter sneaking
Past the weekend strangers
Crowding all the downtown galleries
Peering into the fuss
I feel the hidden pangs of the
Warmly glowing spirit I always thought I was
[Pre 2]
Yet I’m turning the mood frigid
Jangling chains on Main Street just for show
Looking for some distance from the
Only place I’ve ever known as home
Lingering in Limbo singing
[Chorus]
I’m not really here
I’m far off in some other location
After all these years
I’m busy lingering, lingering
Lingering in Limbo singing
I’m not really here
I’m far off in another location
After all these years
I’ve turned into a plain clothed ghost
[Outro]
The only one who knows it is me
The only one who knows it is me
The only one who knows it is me
