[ti:The Lizards] [ar:Phish] [al:LivePhish 10/21/95] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Lizards - Phish [00:33.77]Passing through the corridor [00:35.65]I came upon an aging knight [00:37.79]Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor [00:41.32]He was on his way to see the king [00:45.12]Wilson Wilson Wilson [00:51.10] [00:52.64]He led me through the streets of Prussia talking [00:55.53]As he tried to crush a bug [00:57.46]That scurried underneath his boot heel [01:00.39]He said there was a place where we should go [01:06.21]So he lead me through [01:07.43]The forest to the edge of a lagoon by which [01:10.16]We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring [01:14.21]The knight grew very quiet as we stood there [01:17.87]Then he lifted up his visor and [01:19.95]He turned to me and he began to sing [01:22.58]He said "I come from the land of darkness" [01:24.45]I said "I come from the land of doom" [01:26.13]He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge [01:28.19]From the land of the big baboon [01:30.13]But I'm never never going back there [01:32.25]And I couldn't if I tried [01:34.09]'Cause I come from the land of lizards [01:35.98]And the lizards they have died [01:37.86]And the lizards they have died [01:39.76]And the lizards they have died [01:41.67]And the lizards they have" [01:47.12] [02:00.31]He told me that the lizards [02:01.56]Were a race of people practically extinct [02:04.23]From doing things smart people don't do [02:06.33] [02:07.79]He said that he was once a lizard too [02:13.20] [02:19.30]His name was Rutherford the Brave [02:21.66]And he was on a quest to save [02:23.66]His people from the fate that lay before them [02:27.08]Their clumsy end was perilously near [02:29.19] [02:33.22]The lizards would be saved he said if they could be enlightened [02:35.69]By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book [02:40.17] [02:40.79]In all of Prussia only one existed [02:42.92] [02:44.54]And Wilson had declared [02:46.31]That any person who possessed it was a crook [02:49.24]He said "I come from the land of darkness" [02:51.13]I said "I come from the land of doom" [02:52.99]He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge [02:54.99]From the land of the big baboon [02:56.79]But I'm never never going back there [02:58.73]And I couldn't if I tried [03:00.30]'Cause I come from the land of lizards [03:02.39]And the lizards they have died [03:04.38]And the lizards they have died [03:06.25]And the lizards they have died [03:07.96]And the lizards they have" [03:10.57] [03:26.81]The Helping Friendly Book it seemed [03:28.15]Possessed the ancient secrets [03:30.06]Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor [03:34.07]The trick was to surrender to the flow [03:36.39] [03:45.78]We walked along beneath the moon [03:47.76]He lead us through the bush 'till soon [03:50.06]We saw before our eyes a raging river [03:53.54]He said that we could swim it if we tried [03:58.10] [03:59.19]And saying this the knight dove [04:01.06]In forgetting that his suit of arms [04:02.86]Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk [04:05.92] [04:06.92]And as his body disappeared before me [04:10.25]I bowed my head in silence [04:12.43]And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk [04:15.22]He said "I come from the land of darkness" [04:17.14]I said "I come from the land of doom" [04:18.95]He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge [04:20.88]From the land of the big baboon [04:22.68]But I'm never never going back there [04:24.59]And I couldn't if I tried [04:26.53]'Cause I come from the land of lizards [04:28.34]And the lizards they have"
