Jim Loeffler's Electric Orbit

Lyrics

Welcome to limbo my new home
Built to suit you cos I’m always alone
You moved me in like what I’ve done with the place
It just needs a door to let me exit with grace

I’m going nowhere I’m taking you with me
I should have known from the start
You’d keep me from leaving now I’m underachieving
You’re tearing my dreams apart

You dangle my world from a string with no care
And dose me with hope just so that I’ll be there
You play the victim as you tighten the noose
Around my neck guess I deserve the abuse

Well I’m going nowhere I’m taking you with me
I should have known from the start
You’d keep me from leaving now I’m underachieving
You’re tearing my dreams apart

I was convinced when you entered the room
That you’ve got a way with something
But you led me in to a gambler’s ruin
And you got away with nothing but me

Ninety-nine bottles and ninety-nine songs
I don’t really blame you for not singing along
But do me a favor cos I’ve done my best
Don’t blame me for doing something you’ll regret

Cos I’m going out there and you can’t come with me
I’m making a brand new start
Now I’m believing I no longer need you
I’m tearing these chains apart

I’m going out there and don’t you come with me
I’m making a brand new start
Now I’m believing I no longer need you
I’m tearing these chains apart
