《The Lizards》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lizards - Phish

[00:00:33] Passing through the corridor

[00:00:35] I came upon an aging knight

[00:00:37] Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

[00:00:41] He was on his way to see the king

[00:00:45] Wilson Wilson Wilson

[00:00:52] He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

[00:00:55] As he tried to crush a bug

[00:00:57] That scurried underneath his boot heel

[00:01:00] He said there was a place where we should go

[00:01:06] So he lead me through

[00:01:07] The forest to the edge of a lagoon by which

[00:01:10] We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

[00:01:14] The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

[00:01:17] Then he lifted up his visor and

[00:01:19] He turned to me and he began to sing

[00:01:22] He said "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:01:24] I said "I come from the land of doom"

[00:01:26] He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:01:28] From the land of the big baboon

[00:01:30] But I'm never never going back there

[00:01:32] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:01:34] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

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

[00:01:37] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:39] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:41] And the lizards they have"

[00:02:00] He told me that the lizards

[00:02:01] Were a race of people practically extinct

[00:02:04] From doing things smart people don't do

[00:02:07] He said that he was once a lizard too

[00:02:19] His name was Rutherford the Brave

[00:02:21] And he was on a quest to save

[00:02:23] His people from the fate that lay before them

[00:02:27] Their clumsy end was perilously near

[00:02:33] The lizards would be saved he said if they could be enlightened

[00:02:35] By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

[00:02:40] In all of Prussia only one existed

[00:02:44] And Wilson had declared

[00:02:46] That any person who possessed it was a crook

[00:02:49] He said "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:02:51] I said "I come from the land of doom"

[00:02:52] He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:02:54] From the land of the big baboon

[00:02:56] But I'm never never going back there

[00:02:58] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:03:00] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[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 died

[00:03:07] And the lizards they have"

[00:03:26] The Helping Friendly Book it seemed

[00:03:28] Possessed the ancient secrets

[00:03:30] Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

[00:03:34] The trick was to surrender to the flow

[00:03:45] We walked along beneath the moon

[00:03:47] He lead us through the bush 'till soon

[00:03:50] We saw before our eyes a raging river

[00:03:53] He said that we could swim it if we tried

[00:03:59] And saying this the knight dove

[00:04:01] In forgetting that his suit of arms

[00:04:02] Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

[00:04:06] And as his body disappeared before me

[00:04:10] I bowed my head in silence

[00:04:12] And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk

[00:04:15] He said "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:04:17] I said "I come from the land of doom"

[00:04:18] He said "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:04:20] 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"
