Lifeboy Lyrics - Hoist - 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 

So very, so very hard 

And you won't get a refund 

If you overpray 

And when the line is breaking 

And when I'm near the end 

When all the time's spent leading 

I've been following instead 

When all my thoughts and memories are 

Left hanging by a thread 

But God never listens to what I say 

God never listens to what I say 

So very, so very hard 

And you won't get a refund 

If you overpray 

Stranded on this slender string 

The minutes seems 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 

So very, so very hard 

And you won't get a refund 

God never listens to what I say 

God never listens to what I say 

So very, so very hard 

And you won't get a refund 

If you overpray 

God never listens to what I say 

God never listens to what I say 

God never listens to what I say 

God never listens to what I say
