Phish - Wingsuit (full album) Songtexte

1. WINGSUIT

Steal away, let's steal a car
You'll never win a major only shooting par
Step outside, feel the sun
It's only you, be you, cause you're the only one

And it feels good cause it feels good
And it feels good
And it feels good cause it feels good
And it feels good

Nothing lasts, nothing stays
Caught in this procession of unchanging days
What's new is old, what's old is gone
You're pushed up to the edge, so put your wingsuit on

Put your wingsuit on (And it feels good cause it feels good)

And gliding away, you fly where you choose
There's nothing to say and nothing to lose

Steal away, take the sky

Put your wingsuit on, put your wingsuit on

And gliding away, you fly where you choose
There's nothing to say and nothing to lose

Time to put your wingsuit on
Time to put your wingsuit on

2. FUEGO

I'm a sailor's girl, the best is yet to come
Rolling in my Fuego, I do my own stunts
I see guilty people, angels blowing horns

Some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps
Freak out and throw stuff, World's Greatest Dad
Read a little book about Vlad the Impaler

Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh

Inside your Fuego, we keep it rolling
Inside your Fuego, we keep it rolling
Inside your Fuego, we keep it rolling
Inside your Fuego, we keep it rolling

I asked Diego if it was stolen
Inside your Fuego, we keep it rolling
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Diego, Diego, Diego

3. THE LINE

Dry mouth, push it out
I can hear my heart pound
A hero's what I'm not

Voices scream, flashes flare
Frozen as the people stare
My crucifixion shot

Friends worry, 'lectric on the Western
Sidewalk, triangles were shifting on the floor
Squeezing out the breath that I don't have
The quiet now, they only want two more

And you step to the line, and you step to the line

Every shot I've taken has led me to this moment
Since I was four feet high
Big D. is watching, I remember what he taught me:
"Don't let 'em see you cry."

And you step to the line, and you step to the line

Try to see your future from the line
Clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's getting smaller all the time

Dry mouth, push it out
I can hear my heart pound
A hero's what I'm not

Voices scream, flashes flare
Frozen as the people stare
My crucifixion shot

Try to see your future from the line
Clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's getting smaller all the time

4. MONICA

You'd lift me up - you higher'd me
You'd light my day - you fired me
But then you stole the sun - you blinded me
Now the day is done - you night'd me

It's floating on me, how it starts

Your wisdom must be why it smarts
Some whole sum has many parts
Sing, sing Monica, sing your song

Can you admit that you were wrong
Sing, sing Monica, sing your song

You go back home where you belong
Go back home where you belong

Sing Monica

You gave me one last taste - retreated me
That cut me off at the knees - defeated me
From your ivory tower - inspired me
And stole my manhood - desired me

It's setting in now how it ends

You may have won it all - depends
Have-nots have as many friends
Sing, sing Monica, sing your song

It really didn't last too long
Sing, sing Monica, sing your song

Can you admit that you were wrong?
Go back home where you belong

(set me free, set me free)

You charged me up - excited me
Upended and - re-righted me
Then you hooked me up - you wired me
But when my tread was worn - you retired me

I'm saying all this stuff because

It's finally dawning on me how it was
Sing Monica, Sing Monica, Sing Monica, Sing Monica!

5. WAITING ALL NIGHT

All night and I'm waiting for you to come home
Waiting all night, waiting all night
I'm just wasting and I wonder what I did wrong
Waiting all night, waiting all night

Where would you be?

I'm so alone, won't you please come home?

Sun's coming up and I'm rolling over
But I'm holding on

Waiting all night
And I said I'm sorry, but you went so far away
Don't know why you left me this way
But you sail on, sail on
Waiting all night

6. WOMBAT

Had to have that, had to have that

You wombat, had that

You gotta to take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on, you gotta leave it behind
(Know you got to leave it behind)

You wombat, you had that

It's kinda like the theme to the 'Fish' TV show
You know, with Abe Vigoda

(Bring it forward or leave it behind)

You been working, took a big job

(highly but deadly)
That purple's caught in the centifuge
Never did tumble over the side of a hill
By a man named Wilson
Heading down to Baton Rouge
Spit out the seeds, gnaw on the pulp
Suck on the juice and simmer the rinds

Fromeverous, corpuscular

You had to have, bring it forward or leave it behind
Cuddly, but muscular

I'm everous, corpuscular

7. SNOW

You ride chariots of stone (?)
It feels so calm
Your swirling echo swung (?)

Lost in tonal noise

__that forms of shell
And sinking __
?

8. DEVOTION TO A DREAM

No more promises that no one could keep
No more lies to keep us from sleep
No more phone calls

It's today, the vows are broken
It's today, charade is over
It's today, the curtain's coming down

Now the battle lines are chosen
It's today, my eyes are open
It's today, the time to turn around

No more knowing glances or places we can hide
No more chances to keep this thing alive

The two of us together, it wasn't in the grand scheme
All it was was a fairy tale and devotion to a dream

No more promises, no more keeping score
No more wondering what I stayed here for

We broke the awkward silence with polite but practiced lies
While images occupied our minds
I never meant for voyage that stranded us upstream
All it was was a fairy tale and devotion to a dream
Devotion to a dream

Yesterday my path was chosen
Yesterday my smile was frozen
Yesterday my doors were closing down

Tomorrow I can cross the border
It's today, the new world order
Yesterday my will was broken down

I don't know where this is leading
Tomorrow's glaciers are receding
___ things have broken side ???

All compete for some spoken ??
For now I see that webs were woven
Now I keep the windows open wide

It's today, it's today

9. 555

Tie the blindfold across my eyes
I rest my face down
Skidding on switchback, there the signs
Gonna try to bust out

Get out, jump out

Don't wait, gotta get away
Hop out, roll down

Spring up, live another day

Spit on cobblestones, pass the track
Get my money and my water
Don't wanna run cause it fight back
Though I really oughta

If I don't play with me
I might stray from the same
Make an escape when it arrives
The 555

Bought my soul for a pile of cash
Everybody else got paid out
Closing in, gotta dash
Gotta find a way out

Hop out, roll down, spring up
Live another day

Get up, jump out

Don't wait don't wait

If I don't ___ with me
I might stay the same
Make an escape when it arrives
555

10. WINTERQUEEN

The Winterqueen looks up and sighs
"I wish that I controlled the skies"

For up above is where to stand
To those who walk on land

The Summerqueen flies by and sees
Her realm of butterflies and bees

And says "I wish I lived below
Instead I sail where breezes blow."

And the rain came down
It tried to seep into the ground
The water deep pushed and poked
The sod and soil, already soaked
Began to roil

The Prince of Silence walks below
Beside a cave of ice and snow
He says, "I wonder why the words
Are locked in glaciers, never heard."

The Prince of Music, on guitar
Neglects to play a single bar
The music trapped inside his head
Resounds and fills the space instead

The Winterqueen looks up and sighs
The Winterqueen looks up and sighs

11. AMIDST THE PEALS OF LAUGHTER

The birds are the enemies, their songs in the sun
The hammering nails in the coffin of fun
The last drop of warmth from your soul has been wrung
You now have to face that the day has begun

It means you'll be summoned to a place they call work
In whose hallways you linger, in corners you lurk
You're already three days late on a task
They gave you to fail, they don't even ask

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
Amidst the peals of laughter

Your brain is in pain and your fate has been sealed
The liquid inside of your eyes has congealed
You can't see in color or discern friend from foe
The neighbors wake slowly and glare cause they know
That you don't fit in, you can't earn their trust
You're up at all hours, you're not one of us
They scowl at your windows and smile at the sun
The world has awakened, the day has begun

Against my will, drawn up the hill
Amidst the peals of laughter
In pain, I'm chained to the back of the train
Where I remain thereafter
Amidst the peals of laughter

Loose the caboose. I'm calling a truce

12. YOU NEVER KNOW

It's on the way - you never know
It's on the way - you never know

Tried to get away but they just kept coming
Landed the jet with the limo running
With the bird on his shoulder he sure looked pretty
Left the cage at home and went to Mexico City

It's on the way - you never know

The stars and players, I knew them all
The Cristal bottles on the wall
Robbed from Peter to pay for Paul
They watched me rise

But didn't stick around to see me fall

And it's here, and it's now
And it's here, and it's now

Checking all those names right off your list
'Til there was no one left to call
Money buys you friends, but
Friends, money doesn't buy you much at all

Came so close, I had it all
It felt so good before the fall
I saw it come but I let it go
But I just met two guys with piles of cash in Mexico

You never know, you never know

Maybe that bird needed a cage
Needed a cage after all

13. HALFWAY TO THE MOON

I close my eyes as the curtain draws
Ear toward the tracks
And ever after the rhythm soars
Flyin' right past the facts
Hold the times that I brought to light
Keep the pattern till June
Make the other side right
Half the way to the Moon
I'm old enough to repeat myself
I'm not tryin' to defend
Holdin' onto the thoughts I have
Back to circles again
Holdin' back the emotion train
Headin' back to Duluth
All aboard for the tour
Ridin' next to the truth

I found a place that I can't explain
In my state of mind
I move myself as I search the stone
For any lines to unwind
I grabbed some change when I thought I could
Left my wallet behind
I did my best to refine
I put my shoes out to shine
A little star that reveals itself
Little matter of time
Holdin' on to the wheel I know
Not the devil I'll find
Raise the bar and roofbeams high
Help me carry this tune
Make the other side right
Half the way to the moon
