《The Lizards》歌词

[00:10:21] The Lizards - Phish

[00:10:21] Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight

[00:10:21] Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

[00:10:21] He was on his way to see the king

[00:10:21] Wilson, Wilson, Wilson

[00:10:21] He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

[00:10:21] As he tried to crush a bug

[00:10:21] That scurried underneath his boot heel

[00:10:21] He said there was a place where we should go

[00:10:21] So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which

[00:10:21] We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

[00:10:21] The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

[00:10:21] Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:10:21] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:10:21] From the land of the big baboon

[00:10:21] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:10:21] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:10:21] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have"

[00:10:21] He told me that the lizards

[00:10:21] Were a race of people practically extinct

[00:10:21] From doing things smart people don't do

[00:10:21] He said that he was once a lizard too

[00:10:21] His name was Rutherford the Brave

[00:10:21] And he was on a quest to save

[00:10:21] His people from the fate that lay before them

[00:10:21] Their clumsy end was perilously near

[00:10:21] The lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened

[00:10:21] By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

[00:10:21] In all of Prussia only one existed

[00:10:21] And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:10:21] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:10:21] From the land of the big baboon

[00:10:21] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:10:21] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:10:21] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have died

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have"

[00:10:21] The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed

[00:10:21] Possessed the ancient secrets

[00:10:21] Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

[00:10:21] The trick was to surrender to the flow

[00:10:21] We walked along beneath the moon

[00:10:21] He lead us through the bush 'till soon

[00:10:21] We saw before our eyes a raging river

[00:10:21] He said that we could swim it if we tried

[00:10:21] And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms

[00:10:21] Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

[00:10:21] And as his body disappeared before me

[00:10:21] I bowed my head in silence

[00:10:21] And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of darkness"

[00:10:21] I said, "I come from the land of doom"

[00:10:21] He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge

[00:10:21] From the land of the big baboon

[00:10:21] But I'm never, never going back there

[00:10:21] And I couldn't if I tried

[00:10:21] 'Cause I come from the land of lizards

[00:10:21] And the lizards they have"
