Cavern

Phish

Your time is near, the mission's clear, it's later than we think 

Before you slip into the night, you'll want something to drink 

Steal away before the dawn, and bring us back good news 

But if you've tread in primal soup, please wipe it from your shoes 


Just then a porthole pirate scourged the evening with his cry 

And sanctuary bugs deprived the monkey of its thigh 

A dust arose and clogged my nose before I could blink twice 

Despite the stuff that bubbled up, I gave some last advice: 


The flesh from Satan's dogs will make the rudiments of gruel 

Deduct the carrots from your pay you worthless swampy fool 


Exploding then through fields and fen and swimming in the mire 

The septic maiden's gargoyle tooth demented me with fire 

I drifted where the current chose afloat upon my back 

And if perchance a newt slimed by, I'd stuff it in my sack 


Soon I felt a bubble form, somewhere below my skin 

But with handy spine of hedgehog I removed the force within 

Suzie then removed her mask and caused a mighty stir 

The angry mob responded taking turns at grabbing her 


The foggy cavern's musty grime appeared within my palm 

I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off with deadly icy calm 

[Alternate lyrics for above verse: 

The brothel wife then grabbed a knife and slashed me on the tongue 

I turned the blade back on the bitch and dropped her in the dung] 


The crowd meanwhile had taken Sue and used her like a rag 

To mop the slime from where the slug had slithered with the bag 

In summing up, the moral seems a little bit obscure... 


Give the director a serpent deflector 

a mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector 

a cushion convector, a pitcher of nectar * 

a virile dissector,a hormone collector 

Whatever you do, take care of your shoes 


* Alternate lyrics include "a penile erector" and "a picture of Nectar
