Forgive me, but I am unfamiliar with what liminal space has become this time. Can anyone tell me what it is? What the cultural significance of it is? Are there usually balls of mice which try to run you down? There must be some reason it is what it is this time.

Five percent of the globe probably heard it at least once, over a couple decades.

A smaller number, then, in the grand picture. If it had been greater I might have thought they would expect all of us to be aware of the lyrics and draw from them, but if not... Hm. It seems far too simple a thing to point to. We could hardly miss the metaphor.

Well... I'd have to do a headcount, but I'm thinking about forty percent of the Travelers are from the right kind of time and place to know the words.

Truly? Is there aught else in the song which might be relevant?

Just imagery. Control; helplessness. A taunt.
