The Lizards - Phish[00:00:00]
Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight[00:00:30]
Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor[00:00:34]
He was on his way to see the king[00:00:38]
Wilson Wilson Wilson[00:00:42]
He led me through the streets of Prussia talking[00:00:50]
As he tried to crush a bug[00:00:53]
That scurried underneath his boot heel[00:00:55]
He said there was a place where we should go[00:00:58]
So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which[00:01:04]
We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring[00:01:08]
The knight grew very quiet as we stood there[00:01:12]
Then he lifted up his visor[00:01:16]
And he turned to me and he began to sing[00:01:18]
He said I come from the land of darkness[00:01:21]
I said I come from the land of doom[00:01:23]
He said I come from the land of gamehendge[00:01:25]
From the land of the big baboon[00:01:27]
But I'm never never going back there[00:01:29]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:01:31]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:01:32]
And the lizards they have died[00:01:34]
And the lizards they have died[00:01:36]
And the lizards they have died[00:01:38]
And the lizards they have[00:01:40]
He told me that the lizards[00:02:00]
Were a race of people practically extinct[00:02:01]
From doing things smart people don't do[00:02:03]
He said that he was once a lizard too[00:02:07]
His name was Rutherford the brave[00:02:19]
And he was on a quest to save[00:02:21]
His people from the fate that lay before them[00:02:23]
Their clumsy end was perilously near[00:02:27]
The lizards would be saved he said if they could be enlightened[00:02:33]
By the writings of the helping friendly book[00:02:36]
In all of Prussia only one existed[00:02:41]
And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook[00:02:44]
He said I come from the land of darkness[00:02:49]
I said I come from the land of doom[00:02:51]
He said I come from the land of gamehendge[00:02:53]
From the land of the big baboon[00:02:55]
But I'm never never going back there[00:02:57]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:02:59]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:03:01]
And the lizards they have died[00:03:02]
And the lizards they have died[00:03:04]
And the lizards they have died[00:03:06]
And the lizards they have[00:03:08]
The helping friendly book it seemed[00:03:27]
Possessed the ancient secrets[00:03:29]
Of eternal joy and never ending splendor[00:03:31]
The trick was to surrender to the flow[00:03:35]
We walked along beneath the moon[00:03:47]
He lead us through the bush 'till soon[00:03:49]
We saw before our eyes a raging river[00:03:51]
He said that we could swim it if we tried[00:03:54]
And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms[00:04:00]
Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk[00:04:04]
And as his body disappeared before me[00:04:08]
I bowed my head in silence[00:04:12]
And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk[00:04:14]
He said I come from the land of darkness[00:04:17]
I said I come from the land of doom[00:04:19]
He said I come from the land of gamehendge[00:04:21]
From the land of the big baboon[00:04:22]
But I'm never never going back there[00:04:24]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:04:26]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:04:28]
And the lizards they have[00:04:30]
