Phish lyrics

[*Jamison*]

These are some of my favorite Phish lyrics, the first one is my absolute favorite though.
-------------------------------------
POOR HEART
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

TV SHOW
Too much anger trapped inside
It's so hard to let it go
Hope is fading
I'm tired of waiting
And I'm moving much too slow
The stars above I'm cursing
And it still seems I'm rehearsing
But the cameras have been
Rolling all the while
This story's getting boring
And the spectators are snoring
I suggest you turn the dial
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
I saw a headline in the paper
Of another ticker taper
For a war which has barely just begun
We'll be waving our flag silly
As we're chopped into piccalilli
And that's not my idea of fun
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Life is a TV show
Should've been canceled long ago

GHOST
I feel I never told you
the story of the ghost
that I once knew and talked to
of whom I'd never boast
for this was my big secret
how I'd get ahead
and never have to worry
I'd call him instead
his answer came in actions
he never spoke a word
or maybe I laid down the phone
before he could be heard
I somehow feel forsaken
like he had closed the door
I guess I just stopped needing him
as much as once before
but maybe he's still with me
the latch was left unhooked
he's waiting in the wind and rain
I simply haven't looked
-------------------
IF I COULD
Take me to another place, she said
Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
Stay with me till time turns over
I want to feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around
If I could I would...
Hear you laughing as we go
Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows...
I'm melting into nothing
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
--------------------
TALK
I can't talk my talk with you
Nothing's ever soaking through
The filter that surrounds your thoughts
And holds out lessons left untaught
I can't talk my talk with you
Nothing's ever soaking through
The filter that surrounds your thoughts
And holds out lessons left untaught
I can't talk my talk with you
I can't sing my song with you
Nothing's ever soaking through
The filter that surrounds your thoughts
And holds out lessons left untaught
I can't sing this song with you
Nothing's ever soaking through
The filter that surrounds your thoughts
And holds out lessons left untaught
I can't sing my song with you
I can't talk my talk with you
----------------------
FAST ENOUGH FOR YOU
If time were only part of the equation
Then you could draw the bound'ries of our cage
You wouldn't pile another stone upon me
And I'd be happy just to watch you age
But everything is in its own dominion
And waiting in the shallows as I do
Appeases me as water slowly trickles out
Which isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you
Its what I was afraid of
I stumble into view
But it isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you
--------------------------
CONTACT
The tires are the things on your car
That make contact with the road
The car is the thing on the road
That takes you back to your abode
The tires are the things on your car
That make contact with the road
Bummed is what you are
When you go out to your car and it's been towed
I woke up one morning in November
And I realized I love you
It's not your headlights in front
Your tailpipe, or the skylight above you
It's the way you cling to the road
When the wind tries to shove you
I'd never go riding away
And come back home without you

Phish - Dirt
I'd like to live beneath the dirt.
A tiny space to move and breath
is all that I would ever need....
I'd like to live beneath the dirt.
Where I'd be free from push and shove
like all those swarming up above...
Beneath their heels I'll spend my time...

 

[PhriendOfMine]

My glance is always darting,
When I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my veiw
If you are here with me,
I trust you lead the way
When you're not I follow you,
And always go atsray
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 happend 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,
He'd brush you off,
And I'd agree
~PHISH
Silent in the Morning

The Curtain
As he saw his life run away from him, thousands ran along, chanting words from a song:
Please me, have no regrets.
Came from the baby's mouth....
WE FOLLOW THE LINES GOING SOUTH.

 

[spinkle]

and two lines from Tela:
My soul is made of marble, but in her gaze
I crumble into dust and drift away on the wind.
