    there is much speculation about that. however the generally accepted version is. "wash uffitze drive me to firenze" go to phish.net for a shitload of info on the subject. motherfuck a lot of people responded to this thread. i feel accomplished. i turn 20 in an hour and 15 minutes. shit yeah. oh yeah fave lyric??

    i had a dog his name was jim. but probably only cuz i'm high they have much better lyrix.

    Sometimes when the evening's young,
    the wind dies down and the setting sun,
    crochets the clouds whith yarn so fine,
    and fills the oceans with red wine

    Sometimes they say different things too (YEM). I've heard a version where everytime they say it, they slowly degrade it until it sounds like a mess of sound.

    totally impossible there is not one better than another...

    but in my mind always, as they are theme songs to my life:
    You've got to run like an antelope out of control
    Your hands and feet are mangoes, your gonna be a genius anways

    Guelah--
    It is the work of the guelah papyrus
    Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osiris
    Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan
    Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus

    Chalkdust, Cavern, Stash...

    when your there I sleep lengthwise, and when your gone, I sleep diagonally in my bed

    I love you phish.

    "Think of London - small city
    Dark - dark in the daytime
    People sleep - sleep in the daytime
    If they want to - if they want to

    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I've got it figured out
    I've got it figured out

    There's some good points - some bad points
    But it all works out - I'm just a little freaked out

    Find your city -
    Find yourself a city to live in
    I will find a city -
    Find yourself a city to live in

    A lot of bridges in Birmingham
    A lot of ghosts - and a lot of houses
    Look over there - dry ice factory
    Good place to get some thinking done

    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I've got it figured out
    I'm the one who got it figured out

    There's some good points - some bad points

    Find your city -
    Find yourself a city to live in
    I will find a city -
    Find yourself a city to live in

    Did I forget to mention -
    Forget to mention Memphish
    Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
    Do I smell - I smell home cooking
    It's only the river - it's only the river

    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I'm checkin' 'em out
    I've got it figured out
    I've got it figured out

    There's some good points - some bad points
    Are those things real? Denied!

    Find your city -
    Find yourself a city to live in
    I will find a city -
    Find yourself a city to live in
    I will find a city -
    Find yourself a city to live in
    I will find a city
    Find yourself a city to live in"

    sweet song

    His eyes were clear and pure But his mind was so deranged

    Trying to make a woman match your moves

    NICU!

    Appendages flailing running at me, ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me.
    The devious gelatin holding me fast, miraculous now you let me ooze past.
    Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze, the tip of stalactites incising my
    knees.
    A slipper of sand dollar day at the shore, the next evening at home that I
    dread even more.

    Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out through your opacity.
    Though you're rehearsed, tomorrow's verse, forgive me if I don't sing your key.

    Look back on those days when my life was a haze, gelatin lay on a runcated sleigh.
    Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank, from a freemasons cranked to the overflow tank.
    Bane of the weasel for biting is fun, jump on the turnstile and watch me go round.
    Swim with the cactus and float with the stone, I try to convey what you strive to condone.

    Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out through your opacity.
    Though you're rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I don't sing in your key.
    Play it Leo!

    Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out through your opacity.
    Though you're rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if I don't sing in your key.
    Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the first thing that I see.
    And if you do, NICU , then you will be the nothing left for me.
    Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the first thing that I see.

    Hey all,


    The more I listen to Rift, the more I think it's Trey and Tom at their best. Think of the lyrics to Ice and how metaphorical they are for wanting to do the worst in a relationship gone bad.

    Or Silent in the Morning and how the show how final a break-up can be (and i KNOW that Fish's triplet ride at the end, instead of the straight 4 he should have played, shows how the relationship the album was about has gone irreeparably wrong).

    Or Fast Enough For You; "And I'll be happy just to watch you age..."

    brilliant album...
