The Limit

Hear a demo version of the song:

This is a blues in E with a very long I.

When we were at the bar just the other night
With some guys; man, you seemed awful friendly.
But I don't like to judge, you were just havin' fun,
So I suppressed my little twinge of envy
And it all seemed fine, so I enjoyed my wine
And I let myself start to relax
But now tell me true, what the hell possessed you
To put your hand in that big man's slacks?

Well that's the limit baby
Yeah that's the limit baby
That's the limit, you know,
Any further and you'll've gone too far

Now my credit card stopped working, it's sad to say,
So I called up support, you see?
I musta pressed all the buttons on my phone at least twice
'Til I talked to a human being
You were trying to help, so I tried not to yelp
When you put me on hold twice again
Now you're acting bizarre, wanna repo my car?
Now you know that I hate to complain

But that's the limit baby
Yeah that's the limit baby
That's the limit,
Any further and you'll've gone too far

Now you've got this real function called f of z
Ain't defined right where z equals y
But it is to the left, and it is to the right,
So it's fine right on either side.
Now if for all positive epsilons there's a positive delta
So when z's within delta of y
It turns out f(z)'s within epsilon of c
Well, you know that you just can't deny

c's the limit baby
Yeah c's the limit baby
It's the limit, you know,
Any further and you'll've gone too far

Well that's the limit baby
Yeah that's the limit baby
That's the limit, you know,
Any further and you'll've gone too far
