The Lizards - Phish[00:11:09]
Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight[00:11:09]
Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor[00:11:09]
He was on his way to see the king[00:11:09]
Wilson, Wilson, Wilson[00:11:09]
He led me through the streets of Prussia talking[00:11:09]
As he tried to crush a bug[00:11:09]
That scurried underneath his boot heel[00:11:09]
He said there was a place where we should go[00:11:09]
So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which[00:11:09]
We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring[00:11:09]
The knight grew very quiet as we stood there[00:11:09]
Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:11:09]
I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:11:09]
From the land of the big baboon[00:11:09]
But I'm never, never going back there[00:11:09]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:11:09]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have"[00:11:09]
He told me that the lizards[00:11:09]
Were a race of people practically extinct[00:11:09]
From doing things smart people don't do[00:11:09]
He said that he was once a lizard too[00:11:09]
His name was Rutherford the Brave[00:11:09]
And he was on a quest to save[00:11:09]
His people from the fate that lay before them[00:11:09]
Their clumsy end was perilously near[00:11:09]
The lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened[00:11:09]
By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book[00:11:09]
In all of Prussia only one existed[00:11:09]
And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:11:09]
I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:11:09]
From the land of the big baboon[00:11:09]
But I'm never, never going back there[00:11:09]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:11:09]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have died[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have"[00:11:09]
The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed[00:11:09]
Possessed the ancient secrets[00:11:09]
Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor[00:11:09]
The trick was to surrender to the flow[00:11:09]
We walked along beneath the moon[00:11:09]
He lead us through the bush 'till soon[00:11:09]
We saw before our eyes a raging river[00:11:09]
He said that we could swim it if we tried[00:11:09]
And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms[00:11:09]
Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk[00:11:09]
And as his body disappeared before me[00:11:09]
I bowed my head in silence[00:11:09]
And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:11:09]
I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:11:09]
He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:11:09]
From the land of the big baboon[00:11:09]
But I'm never, never going back there[00:11:09]
And I couldn't if I tried[00:11:09]
'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:11:09]
And the lizards they have"[00:11:09]
