If you can heal the symptoms
But not affect the cause
It's quite a bit like trying to heal
A gunshot wound with gauze

If you instead attempt to wrest
The pistol from the hand
Then I would not be able to
Equate my life with sand

Flowing through the hourglass
Pushing through the funnel
Turn once more while racing
All your siblings for the tunnel

Slide and let the silicone
Embrace you as you fall
Then bounce and land you let
Your brothers crush you to the wall

I would choose my own religion
And worship my own spirit
But if he ever preached to me
I wouldn't want to hear it

I'd drop him, a forgotten god,
Languishing in shame
And then if I hit stormy seas
I'd have myself to blame

Trippy. Interesting electronica.

Anyone who's ever played with more than just one other knows how good Phish are.  They've always been good at what they do.

Every time? This suggests you recognize that this is music (or might be waiting in ambush) but object on some principle or other. Fair enough, but rather pointless, I'd say.

As I must always point out to RP listeners, don't judge Phish by their studio albums. Their live stuff is so much different. I'm going to see them at Dick's in Denver in a couple of days. Can't wait.

One of those few studio songs that even comes close to their live stuff. If you really want to get to know Phish, you must listen to their live music. Better yet, go see one of their shows.

Yeah, I'd love to hear some from "A Picture of Nectar" - the cd that started my Phish love.  The only band I came remotely close to "following" - but I know seeing 3 or 4 shows in a row isn't really following, to the hardcore... does it help that I didn't shower for several days during that time period?  {#Stupid}
