Phish plays the gamehendge jam, \"The Lizards.\"\n\nPassing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight\nWho leaned against the wall in gnarly armor\nHe was on his way to see the king\nWilson\nWilson\nWilson\nHe led me through the streets of Prussia talking\nAs he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his bootheel\nHe said there was a place where we should go\nSo he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which\nWe wandered \'til we reached a bubbly spring\nThe knight grew very quiet as we stood there\nThen he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing\n\n\nchorus: \n\nHe said I come from the land of darkness\nI said I come from the land of doom\nHe said I come from the land of Gamehendge\nFrom the land of the big baboon\nBut I\'m never never going back there\nAnd I couldn\'t if I tried\n\'Cause I come from the land of Lizards\nAnd the Lizards they have died\nAnd the Lizards they have died\nAnd the Lizards they have died\nAnd the Lizards they have died\n\n\nHe told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct\nFrom doing things smart people don\'t do\nHe said that he was once a Lizard too\nHis name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save\nHis people from the fate that lay before them.\nTheir clumsy end was perilously near\nThe Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened\nBy the writings of the Helping Friendly Book\nIn all of Prussia only one existed\nAnd Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook\n\n\n[chorus] \n\nThe Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets\nOf eternal joy and never-ending splendor\nThe trick was to surrender to the flow\nWe walked along beneath the moon\nHe lead us through the bush \'till soon\nWe saw before our eyes a raging river\nHe said that we could swim it if we tried\nAnd saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms\nWould surely weigh him down and so he sunk\nAnd as his body disappeared before me\nI bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk\n\n\n[chorus] \n\n\n\n\nBut Rutherford and Forbin weren\'t alone. And suddenly an unexpected movement caught his eye. On the far side of the river he saw a shaggy creature standing in the weeds who stared across at Forbin with an unrelenting gaze. A gigantic mass of muscles and claws. The hideous beast reared back and hurled himself in the water and swam toward the region where Rutherford lay. And in a flash, the beast was gone, underneath the surface to the frosty depths below while Forbin, bewildered, waited alone. The seconds dragged by in what seemed like hours till finally the colonel felt it all had been a dream. Defeated, he bowed his head then turned to go. Suddenly with a roar, the creature emerged before him and held the brave knight\'s body to the sky. And the creature laid the knight upon the shore. And the colonel fell beside his friend in prayer that he\'d survive. And Rutherford, brave Rutherford was alive. \n\nForbin and the unit monster were crouched over the soggy knight carefully removing his bulky helmet when the colonel heard a sound behind him. He turned around and came face to face with an enormous shaggy horse-like creature covered from head to tail with alternating blotches of brown and white. It was a two-toned multi-beast, and atop the multi-beast sat the most beautiful woman the colonel had ever seen. After fifty-two years of undaunted bachelorhood, the colonel felt a feeling rush over him as he had never felt before.
