Come stumble my mirth beaten worker
I'm Jezmund the family berzerker I'm bought for the price of a flagon of rice The wind buffs the cabin You speak of your life Or more willingly Locust the Lurker Confuse what you can of the ending And revise your despise so impending 'Cause I soak on the wrath That you didn't quite mask I'm getting it clearly through alternate paths Or mixed in with the signal you're sending But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait till im old? Can't I live while I'm young? But no peace for Jezmund tonight I plug the distress tube up tight And watch what I say as it flutters away And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay Not to educate somebody's fright But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait till im old? Can't I live while I'm young? |

Oh Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain
Daniel saw the stone that came rolling through Babylon Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world (repeat above 4 lines) Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air 'Cause now if these wings should fail me Lord, I want to hitch on another pair Oh Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain Jesus was the stone that came rolling through Babylon Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world (repeat above 4 lines) Oh, well the tree it was bending Up in the heavenly land Well, my God spoke unto the Holy Ghost He said, "Come on and let's make man" I'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountain I'm looking for the stone that came rolling through Babylon I'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world (repeat above 4 lines) Well, now, early in the morning the trumpet's gonna sound The dead and Christ is gonna rise Well, if you ain't got good religion Lord, then hell you'll open your eyes I found that stone that was hewed out the mountain I found the stone that came rolling through Babylon I found the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world (repeat above 4 lines) The main difference between this version and Phish's version is that Phish only uses the first verse cited here ("meet me, Jesus, meet me"). The other verse that Trey sings (the only other verse) is this: Well, I saw a weary traveler He was walking on down the road Well, I saw him later that evening He was walking on down that road (followed by the "walk, walk, walk..." part) |

The Squirming Coil of sunset
I keep within my reach Tried yesterday to get away and hitchhiked to the beach I saw Satan on the beach trying to catch a ray He wasn't quite the speed of light and the squirming coil it got away.... The muscles flex the mother's ring She fastens children to her king and sends him down the crooked street When he returns, the birth's complete Jimmy holds the Tannis root The forest's tasty nectar shoot The sun tips off the monarch's suit from sequined sash to shiny boot "I'd like to lick the coil some day Like Icarus, who had to pay with melting wax and feathers brown He tasted it on his way down" Stun the puppy! Burn the whale! Bark a scruff and go to jail! Forge the coin and lick the stamp! Little Jimmy's off to camp |

Aboard a craft bereft of oar
I rowed upstream to find Lenore Abducted by a bandit or A king from some forgotten war And mindful of his larval craze The rhinotropic micro-gaze Ignored it and to my amazement Rode to Paris in twelve days This is the work of the guelah papyrus Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus She take me on, I never fail To ride on the redundant rail 'Cause when I know she's switched a track There's always one to take me back And through the bedroom door intrude A fretful frown and spoil the mood 'Cause though I never really stand that tall She tilt my frame, she watch me fall |

Ahhh!
Divided sky, the wind blows high (The divided sky chant is part of an ancient ritual dating back to the pre-Wilson years of She purity in Gamehendge. After listening to the sacred sounds for a sloping lawn, three chosen subjects eat a special root collected at the base of the enormous mountain that rises in the center of the forest. The root is believed to contain the spirit of Icculus, who lives at the top of the mountain. After eating the root, they venture into a vast field at sundown. The field is deep green, and stretches as far as the eye can see in all directions. In the center of the field stands an enormous black rhombus. They climb the rhombus and begin to sing, paying homage to the gods of the night sky.) |

It's time I sling the baskets off this overburdened horse,
sink my toes into the sand and set a different course, because if I were here and you were there, I'd meet you in between and not until my dying day confess what i have seen. |

I look into the finance box
Just to check my status I look into the microscope See Golgi Apparatus Golgi, oh, woe is me You can't even see the sea Golgi, olgi, oh ooo olgi Golgi Golgi They call him Lysasome Cause he runs so fast Runs like a junkyard dog With a brain of brass I saw you With a ticket stub in your hand Under the light Middle of the night Couldn't get it wrong So I had to |

My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way When you're not I follow you, and always go astray Silent in the morning Suspended in the trees Lunch time comes you've found your voice It brings me to my knees The volume just increases The resounding echoes grow Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath I tighten all my arteries and make one last request Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to Silent in the morning You found your voice that brings me to my knees I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you Smile at you, trust in me, Not to brush you off, and I agree |

I press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice
'Are they worms or are the serpents?' bubbles through the ice The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin He's fallen on the ice, it cracks Will he plunge in and join me here? He meets my eyes, to my surprise He laughs in full light of my frown My double wants to pull me down Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul He's leaning back, time to attack, it's me who's in control And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine Defeated now I sulk and squirm in mud with frozen mice Waiting, calculating till next he ventures on the ice |

The pressure builds, you buy a gift
You're hoping that your dread will lift It glitters on her like a glass You shudder as it comes to pass Apologize to Luce and Lil' Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill Your friends confine you in their worlds One by one, a string of pearls Confuse you say, this isn't me You hover in their unity Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp Release the links, undo the clasp The skin that drips down from the tree And peels back slowly from your knee Erupts into your lung and heart You laugh and laughing, fall apart Laugh and laughing, fall apart(x28) Laugh and Laughing fall apart(x14) |

Walked on down the hall He said "mother" "Father, I want to kill you" "Mother I want to cook you breakfest I want to cook you breakfest, mother Mother, I wanna cook you breakfest Then I wanna, I wanna borrow the car Then I wanna borrow the car Then I wanna" Trying to make a woman match your moves And I'm sharing in the weekapaug groove Trying to make a woman match your moves And I'm sharing in the weekapaug groove Trying to make a woman match your moves And I'm sharing in the weekapaug groove |

It was late one fall night at a fairground near town
When Esther first saw the Armenian man Who groveled toward her and stood by her side With a bucket that swung in his hand His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the curb And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle That flashed in his hollow eyed stare He said "Little girl, you can chop off my legs And then peel off my socks if you want to. But I'd rather you took this old puppet from me That I hold in my pail as we speak." And he stood looking down at the innocent girl And she stared at the bucket bewildered Til he lifted the doll for the young girl to see And a giant smile grew on her face She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't resist And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the church And she burst through the door with puppet held high And a hush filled the chapel, and the people looked mean Esther tried in vain to pacify the mob Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to fetch The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack Through the window of the church a storm began to rage And Esther knew the time had come to flee She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be free But the wind was blowing harder And her skirt began to billow Until finally her feet began to lift And she rose above the houses and the people and the chimneys And Esther and the doll were set adrift Floating higher over the hills, and the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and glide Soaring and turning suspended on air With the earth far below them they'd tumble And dive through the clouds And she began to plummet earthward till she Landed in the nasty part of town She glanced about the village sure to find the evil men Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of night Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the Puppet on her rump. Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid behind A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited Till the dawn Cause it would have been a blunder to Succumb to a hoodlum on the prowl When the morning came, she wandered through the streets Along the chilly lake that lay beside the town At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her down As Esther stood and shook her head The joggers were approaching And she knew she had no choice left but to swim As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her hide She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her skin Naked now she made her way toward the shore When suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe. And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny Little arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go. The waves seemed to open and swallow her whole As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green deep And the sound of the laughing old man filled her ears As she drifted away to a tranquil And motionless sleep. |

The old man knows very well
Going down by the snowbank, there's a mound A mound that an old man knows good Look who raises his shoe all over this mound Right over the world that's another rewind And it's time, time, time for the last rewind For a broken old man and a world unkind He buried all his memories of home In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground No one knows how far he traveled Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound Can he find some balls on his chin? He doesn't know to behold what the cold frost can do And at last till he realized he'd circled back around Round a back circle, round a back realized Ice is all he was made of The bitter blue balls, and frozen through He went over to the mound Reclining down his final thoughts Trey is a Jedi Were drifting to the time this life had shined |

You won't steal my poor heart again
You won't steal my poor heart again You won't steal my tape recorder I'll call the Lord and he'll put you in the pen You won't steal that thing again I didn't even know your name or what was your game But stealin' things has sure brought you to fame I wanna know if you stole mine It was one of a kind and I'm sayin' if you're to blame Your life will never be the same I can't track you anymore Detective work has sure become a bore So tell me what you did with it And stop this shit, give up yourself Before they come knockin' at your door You won't steal my poor heart again You won't steal my poor heart again When I feel the blade of that Cupid sword I'll call the Lord and he'll put you in the pen You won't steal that thing again You won't steal my poor heart again |

Your time is near, the mission's clear
It's later than we think Before you slip into the night You'll want something to drink Steal away before the dawn, and Bring us back good news But if you've tread in primal soup Please wipe it from your shoes Just then a porthole pirate Scouraged the evening with his cry And sanctuary bugs deprived A monkey of its thigh A dust arose and clogged my nose Before I could blink twice Despite the scut that bubbled up I gave some last advice: The flesh from Satan's dogs Will make the rudiments of gruel Deduct the carrots from your pay You worthless swampy fool Exploding then through fields and few And swimming in the mire The septic maiden's gargoyle tooth Demented me with fire I drifted where the current chose Afloat upon my back And if perchance a newt slimed by I'd stuff it in my sack Soon I felt a bubble form, Somewhere below my skin But with the handy spine of hedgehog I removed the force within Suzie then removed her mask And caused a mighty stir The angry crowd responded Taking turns at grabbing her The foggy cavern's musty grime Appeared within my palm I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off With deadly icy calm The crowd meanwhile had taken Sue And used her like a rag To mop the slime from where the slug Had slithered with the bag In summing up, the moral seems A little bit obscure... Give the director a serpent deflector A mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector A cushion convector, a picture of nectar A virile disector, a hormone collector Whatever you do take care of your shoes |
