Phish - You Never Know lyrics

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
Maybe that bird needed a cage
Needed a cage after all
Maybe that bird needed a cage
Needed a cage after all
Maybe that bird needed a cage
Needed a cage after all
