The shoulder I lean on is carved out of stone
Whem I'm done freezing I want to be alone

F Fsus4
e[--x----8---]

G[--10---10--]
D[--10---8---]
A[--8----8---]
E[-----------]
*Play apropriate rhythm*
VERSE: (F > Fsus4)
Never want my hand cut off
Never want a hacking cough
Never needed cliffs(?) I push
Never turn my brain to mush
Always keeping what I lack
Always take the best parts back
Always recognize your face
Always just a moment late
Left is where I always turn
Left is how I'm forced to learn(?)
Left is where my walking takes
Left alone with my mistakes
Up against a person you...
Up 'till now I never knew
Up from hell the answer blew
Up or down it's up to you
Chorus (slower)
C# D# F Fsus4 (F to Fsus4 main theme rhythm)
Drop me off a chinese wok(?)
And peel my fingers off the rim
Come unglued while in mid air
And land to reform
Limb by limb
Chanted: Limb by limb by limb by limb (Mike and Fish)
Sung: And I am am taken far away (Page)
Trey:
Finger is slowly melting away
Tossed with a salad and bailed with the hay
Pooling like water that drips from above
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove
Silence is slowly smothering me
Nothing I touch and nothing I see
Posseses a pulse so it's fit to be seen
If I am a drone then where is my queen
Lingering, slowly melting away
*above lines repeated randomly*
ho = Hammer on
po = Pull off
>
That's it! Let me know what ya think

| the_toolshed, no idea what you mean, or the lyrics for that matter . one thing i like about the song is that each line could have its own individual interpretation. | |

| This is my favorite Phish song. Their songs are always up for interpretation. I believe this song is about losing something and having a guilty feeling after its gone when you realize how important it really was in the first place. I will never forget the two Phish shows I had the privilege to see. I can't believe they're done. Viva la Phish! | |
