New Song Lyrics

Beauty Of My Dreams

One day I met the beauty of my dreams
Such pretty eyes she had you know it seems
Long hair that flowed down behind
I saw it all you know I was so blind
Wound up on her side of town
Bright lights and loud music all around
I gazed into her eyes and she in mine
She had me in a trance that was so fine

(Chorus)
Now I cry cry cry, I can't get over her though I try
I'm blue blue blue, should have known she never could be true

The fun it didn't last for very long
I found her house the neighbors said "you're wrong"
The girl you see don't live here any more
Now I know the pain that was in store
Now all I have is a picture in a frame
She dissapeared the same way she came
She made a wreck of me now I find
She's outside but always on my mind

(Chorus) [X2]


Bye Bye Foot - (Sung by Fishman)

Where I end and you begin
I want to find that line
and cross it back and forth
until it's erased 
by our footsteps by our footsteps by our footsteps

(intrumental then repeat above verse)


Dirt

(Note: Fishman is singing "Never Hear Your Voice Again"
throughout this whole song. Trey sing main lyrics)

I'd like to live beneath the dirt
A tiny space to move and breathe is all that I would ever need
I want live beneath the dirt
where I am free from push and shove like all those swarming up above
beneath your heals I'll spend my time
I'll wiggle in the earth and dew
and somtimes I will think of you

And if you ever think of me
Kneel down and kiss the earth
and show me what this thought is worth

(Awesome guitar lick by Trey - with Fish softly signing behind)


Dog Stole Things

Dog Stole things I needed bad
Cats took what I never had.
Pillows for my aching head
A glass of milk next to my bed

(Chorus 1)
The creatures that seem oh so kind
Then sleep all day and ease your mind
at night they softly paddle on
and look to steal things that you own

(Chorus 2)
So now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord that I might keep
my soul for one more night or two
and hope the creatures never do

(chorus 1) [X2]
(chorus 2)


Farmhouse

Welcome, this is a farmhouse.
We have cluster flies, alas.
And this time of year is bad.

We are so very sorry
There is little we can do,
But swat them

        She didn't beg, oh not enough.
        She didn't stay when things got rough.
        I told a lie and she got mad
        She wasn't there when things got bad

I never ever saw the Northern Lights
(This is a farmhouse)
I never ever heard a cluster fly
(Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright
(This is a farmhouse)
In the Farmhouse things will be alright.
(Cluster flies, alas)

(Solo)

        Brought this one to the stinging lash
        Every man rise from the ash
        Each betrayal begins with trust
        Every man returns to dust

I never ever saw the Northern Lights
(This is a farmhouse)
I never ever heard a cluster fly
(Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright
(This is a farmhouse)
In the Farmhouse things will be alright
(Cluster flies, alas)


Ghost

I feel I've never told you
The story of the ghost
That I once knew
and talked to
But whom might never boast
cause this was my big secret
How I get ahead
and never have to worry
I call him instead

His answer came in action
He never spoke a word
but maybe I layed the phone
before he could be heard
I somehow feel safe
I closed the door
I guess I just needed 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

I feel I've never told you
The story of the ghost
(repeat above two lines 3 more times)

(Reall really really really long freeform jam follows)


Limb By Limb

The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone  (Trey)
But when I'm done freezing I want to be alone.

(Trey)				(Page)
Never want my hand cut off      
				Never want a hacking cough 
Never need a cliffside push
				Never turn my brain to mush
Always give me what I lack
				Always take the best parts back	
Always recognize your fate
				Always just a moment late	
Left is where I always turn	
				Left is how I'm forced to learn 
Left the room my walking takes 
				Left to alone with my mistakes   
Up against a person who	
				Up til now I never knew		
Up from hell the answer blew 	
Up and down it's up to you.   

Drop me off the chinese wall
and peel my fingers off the rim
I come unglued while in mid-air
and land to reform
limb by limb 

limb by limb by limb by limb (repeating throughout following verse)
I am taken far away.... (repeating throughout following verse)

	(Sung by Trey)
Lingering slowly melting Away
Tossed with the salad and bailed with the hay
Pooling like water that drips from above
Trampled by lambs and pegged by the dove
Silence is slowly smothering me.
Nothing I touch and nothing I see
Possesses a pulse or is fit to be seen
If I am bedrone then where is my queen.

	(Trey begins noodle jam)

Lingering Slowly Melting Away
Tossed with the salad and bailed with the hay
Cooling like water that drips from above
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove

	(Awesome Fast Paced Jam)
	(After long jam)

	(all repeating)

Limb by limb by limb by..... (Fishman)
I am taken far away	     (Mike)
Lingering Slowly Melting Away (Trey)

	(all repeating, melting away)

	(mini-Fishman drum solo) 


My Soul

Why do I sit and cry
Without a reason 
I don't know why
It's my soul
It's my soul

It's my soul people
it's my soul

If I should jump up and hollar
Without a reason, straight from the collar
It's my soul
It's my soul

It's my soul people
It's my soul

(chorus)
mamamamamamamam soul  
it's my soul

(chorus repeats 6 times before instrumental verse)

(chorus repeats 6 times again before another instrumental)

(chorus repeats 6 MORE times, then 5 times to end song)



Piper (By Tom Marshall)

Piper, Piper the red red worm
awoke last night to the sound of the storm
the words are the words I sailed upon.

(The above lyrics are repeating and build throughout the song)


TWIST

I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it in several ways
And moving letters all around

And when you heard the end result
I told you it was not my fault

If you were here more of the day
It wouldn't twist around that way

(repeat final verse indefinately)


Vultures

Blind me with ambition like a razor to the throat
cast aside your foolish pride I'll cast the final vote
the feelings you've been waiting for are clawing thru your skin
and if you look above you'll see the vultures moving in

Timing is everything, that much I know.
sometimes I'm fast(er) and sometimes I'm slow 
some days vacation but some days I'm told
I've come to to the end of the line
but when I can't be what's expected of me
I look at the clock and say this can't be
watching it pass without reason or rhyme
I feel I'm suspended in time
(Repeat replacing last line with)

I see the vultures moving in (repeat)

(Fish repeats some phrases in here
"feel I'm suspended in time")



(thanks to Ric Dean for transcribing this one)


Wading in a Velvet Sea

I've been Wading in a Velvet Sea

(Repeated too many times to count)
(Mike begins)
Took the moments from my day
wrapped it up in things you say
mailed it off to your address
oh baby the fool, so the mess
the packaging begins to break
and all the points i try to make
tossed the thoughts unto a fool
And time will tell i love the so??
Woke the dullness in your box??
and someone else will set your clocks
took the moment from my day
and wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you

(thanks Ric!)


Water in the Sky

Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
The barriers arranged by you

Close the shutters draw the shades
filter out the everglades
glistening with evening dew

Thunder calls through waterfalls
rising tides and ocean walls
I can hear you when you sigh

Listen as she speaks to you
hear the voices flutter through
watch them fall and let them lie

Thunder calls through waterfalls
rising tides and ocean walls
I can hear you when you sigh

Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
Through the Water In The Sky
Through the Water In The Sky
