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

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
