Lyrics to Limbo
Lyrics to the song Limbo as recorded by Bryan Ferry.
(Ferry/Leonard)
Voodoo warning is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life
Bears strange fruit down in limbo
Come to me now
A moth to a flame
You never get near enough
You try again
Closer now
Oh how we dance
The spirit holding us
In a trance
Bamboo danger no stranger
Down in limbo
Can you tango? Takes two to
Down in limbo
You are the one
Now is the time
Let your memory beat the drum
On the street car line
Closer now
Oh how we dance
The spirit holding us
In a trance
(voodoo warning)
(voodoo warning)
Closer now
Oh how we dance
The spirit holding us
In a trance
Voodoo warning is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life bears strange fruit
Down in limbo
Creole tattoo I buy you
Down in limbo
Heartbeat you mistreat I owe you
Down in limbo
Limbo
