《The Lizards》歌词

[00:00:28] The Lizards -Phish

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

[00:00:34] Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

[00:00:38] He was on his way to see the king

[00:00:42] Wilson, Wilson, Wilson

[00:00:50] He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

[00:00:52] As he tried to crush a bug

[00:00:54] That scurried underneath his boot heel

[00:00:57] He said there was a place where we should go

[00:01:03] So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which

[00:01:07] We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

[00:01:11] The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

[00:01:14] Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing

[00:01:19] 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

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

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

[00:01:36] And the lizards they have died

[00:01:38] And the lizards they have"

[00:01:43] He told me that the lizards

[00:01:59] Were a race of people practically extinct

[00:02:01] From doing things smart people don't do

[00:02:04] He said that he was once a lizard too

[00:02:16] His name was Rutherford the Brave

[00:02:18] And he was on a quest to save

[00:02:20] His people from the fate that lay before them

[00:02:24] Their clumsy end was perilously near

[00:02:29] The lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened

[00:02:33] By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

[00:02:37] In all of Prussia only one existed

[00:02:41] And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook

[00:02:46] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:02:47] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

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

[00:02:51] From the land of the big baboon

[00:02:53] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:02:55] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:02:57] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:02:59] And the lizards they have died

[00:03:01] And the lizards they have died

[00:03:03] And the lizards they have died

[00:03:04] And the lizards they have"

[00:03:23] The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed

[00:03:24] Possessed the ancient secrets

[00:03:26] Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

[00:03:30] The trick was to surrender to the flow

[00:03:41] We walked along beneath the moon

[00:03:44] He lead us through the bush 'till soon

[00:03:46] We saw before our eyes a raging river

[00:03:49] He said that we could swim it if we tried

[00:03:55] And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms

[00:03:59] Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

[00:04:02] And as his body disappeared before me

[00:04:06] I bowed my head in silence

[00:04:08] And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk

[00:04:11] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:04:12] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:04:14] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:04:16] From the land of the big baboon

[00:04:18] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:04:20] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:04:24] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:06:48] And the lizards they have"
