[Verse 1]
I see them all smiling, those all around me
They tend to my wounds and alert my senses
And it would be nice but I'm not here
I'm dreaming, holding on

[Verse 2]
Time has no meaning, all of it wasted
It smothers me 'til there's no more air
When will it be that I can breathe again?
I'm waiting in the void

[Chorus]
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo)

[Verse 3]
This notion of needing has held me ransom
And all I can do is avoid my mind
Don't make me speak or hear or look
Because I'm hurting, help me out

[Chorus]
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) I'm in limbo

[Interlude]
I'm killing time
I'm killing time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

[Bridge]
Caught in the crossfire, nobody gets it
I'm finding it hard to contain myself
Take all my trust and faith and hope
Until I need it once again

[Chorus]
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) I lost in limbo
(Limbo) I'm in limbo
(Limbo) Lost in limbo
(Limbo) Limbo, limbo
(Limbo) I lost in limbo
(Limbo) I'm in limbo
(Limbo)

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
