Phish - Chalk Dust Torture lyrics
[Phish - Chalk Dust Torture lyrics]
I'm Jezmund, the family berzerker
I'm bought for the price of a flagon of rice
The wind buffs the cabin
You speak of your life
Or more willingly Locust the Lurker
Confuse what you can of the ending
And revise your despise so impending
'Cause, I soak on the wrath
That you didn't quite mask
I'm getting it clearly
Through alternate paths
Or mixed in with the signal you're sending
But who can unlearn all the
Facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
And the torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and
Dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they
Come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't
I live while I'm young?
Can't I live while I'm young?
But no peace for Jezmund tonight
I plug the distress tube up tight
And watch what I say as it flutters away
And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay
Not to educate somebody's fright
So who can unlearn all the
Facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
And the torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and
Dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they
Come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't
I live while I'm young?
Can't I live while I'm young?
But who can unlearn all the
Facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
And the torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and
Dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they
Come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't
I live while I'm young?
Can't I live while I'm young?
Can't I live while I'm young?
Can't I live while I'm young?
