Song
Cavern by Phish
(A Picture of Nectar)
Em Em D A (x2)
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 tread in primal soup
please wipe it from your shoes.
Em Em D A (x2)
Just then a porthole pirate
scourged the evening with his cry
and sanctuary bugs deprived
a monkey of its thigh
A dust arose and blocked my nose
before I could think twice,
Despite the scut that bubbled up
I gave some last advice:
(Slower)
The flesh from Satan's dogs
will make the rudiments of gruel
(Normal speed)
Deduct the carrots from your pay
you worthless swampy fool
Em Em D A (x2)
Exploding through fields and few
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
Em Em D A (x2)
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
(Slower)
The foggy cavern's musty grime
appeared within my palm
(Normal Speed)
I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off
with deadly icy calm
Em Em D A (x2)
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 picture of nectar
A virile disector, a hormone collector
whatever you do, take care of your shoes!
E A (x2)
