purgatory
believe me
not a place you want to be
see
i see it every day

anyway
what can i say...
it just keeps comin' my way

half way
'tween heaven
and hell
not a 7 nor an 11
hard ta' tell
been livin' here quite a spell

no right
no wrong
no daylight
just the same old song
only night
with shades of gray
no place ya' want ta' play
no place ya' want ta' stay


but whata' gone ta' do?
haven't got a clue
all i see is blue
rememberin' you

purgatory
has it's own story
why worry
it just be
where i be
a memory
with it's own history

guess it beats hell
but it's hard ta' tell
oh well
least i'm learnin'
ta' spell
least i'm earnin'
some sun
but it ain't no fun

where do i go
where have i been
what do i know
except "back then"
when...

purgatory
and me
and i
we don't ask "why?"
just live 'till
i die
until
i do as i will

purgatory
ain't no short story
it ain't no rhyme
purgatory
is a life time
no nickel & dime
stuff

purgatory
is rough
'tuff
ain't no bluff
in purgatory
but don't worry
all good things must end
bad 'uns too
someplace there ain't no blue
nor gray
anyway
'nuthin will always stay
the same

name a' the game
hall a' fame
in purgatory
is me

purgatory
believe me
ain't no place ya' want ta' be
