Phish - Cavern Lyrics
Your time is near, the missions clearIts later than we thinkBefore you slip into the nightYoull want something to drinkSteal away before the dawn, andBring us back good newsBut if youve tread in primal soupPlease wipe it from your shoesJust then a porthole pirateScourged the evening with his cryAnd sanctuary bugs deprivedThe monkey of its thighA dust arose and clogged my noseBefore I could blink twiceDespite the stuff that bubbled upI gave some last advice:The flesh from satans dogsWill make the rudiments of gruelDeduct the carrots from your payYou worthless swampy foolExploding then through fields and fenAnd swimming in the mireThe septic maidens gargoyle toothDemented me with fireI drifted where the current choseAfloat upon my backAnd if perchance a newt slimed byId stuff it in my sackSoon I felt a bubble form, somewhere below my skinBut with handy spine of hedgehogI removed the force withinSuzie then removed her maskAnd caused a mighty stirThe angry mob respondedTaking turns at grabbing herThe foggy caverns musty grimeAppeared within my palmI snatched ricks fork to scrape it offWith deadly icy calm[(original lyrics - from 4.22.90)The brothel wife then grabbed a knifeAnd slashed me on the tongueI turned the blade back on the *****And dropped her in the dung]The crowd meanwhile had taken sueAnd used her like a ragTo mop the slime from where the slugHad slithered with the bagIn summing up, the moral seemsA little bit obscure...Give the director a serpent deflectorA mudrat detector, a ribbon reflectorA cushion convector, a pitcher of nectar *A virile dissector,a hormone collector* or a penile erector (4.22.90, 10.31.90), or a picture of nectarWhatever you do take care of your shoes
