《The Lizards》歌词

[00:00:02] The Lizards -Phish

[00:00:30] Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight

[00:00:33] Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

[00:00:37] He was on his way to see the king

[00:00:41] Wilson, Wilson, Wilson

[00:00:48] He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

[00:00:51] As he tried to crush a bug

[00:00:53] That scurried underneath his boot heel

[00:00:56] He said there was a place where we should go

[00:01:01] So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which

[00:01:05] We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

[00:01:09] The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

[00:01:11] Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing

[00:01:17] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:01:19] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:01:20] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:01:23] From the land of the big baboon

[00:01:24] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:01:26] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:01:28] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:01:30] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:32] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:33] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:35] And the lizards they have"

[00:01:53] He told me that the lizards

[00:01:54] Were a race of people practically extinct

[00:01:57] From doing things smart people don't do

[00:02:00] He said that he was once a lizard too

[00:02:11] His name was Rutherford the Brave

[00:02:13] And he was on a quest to save

[00:02:15] His people from the fate that lay before them

[00:02:18] Their clumsy end was perilously near

[00:02:24] The lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened

[00:02:28] By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

[00:02:32] In all of Prussia only one existed

[00:02:35] And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook

[00:02:40] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:02:41] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:02:43] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:02:45] From the land of the big baboon

[00:02:47] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:02:49] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:02:51] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:02:52] And the lizards they have died

[00:02:54] And the lizards they have died

[00:02:56] And the lizards they have died

[00:02:58] And the lizards they have"

[00:03:15] The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed

[00:03:17] Possessed the ancient secrets

[00:03:18] Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

[00:03:22] The trick was to surrender to the flow

[00:03:34] We walked along beneath the moon

[00:03:36] He lead us through the bush 'till soon

[00:03:38] We saw before our eyes a raging river

[00:03:41] He said that we could swim it if we tried

[00:03:47] And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms

[00:03:50] Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

[00:03:54] And as his body disappeared before me

[00:03:58] I bowed my head in silence

[00:03:59] And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk

[00:04:02] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:04:04] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:04:10] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:04:20] From the land of the big baboon

[00:04:31] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:06:20] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:07:09] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:08:22] And the lizards they have"
