Phish - Meat lyrics

I am a prince, I have it all
And I hear your footsteps through the wall
I wait in silence for your call
Then take a shot and watch you fall

I am a ghost but I cannot fly
(If I had a host of ghosts)
I’m stuck here as the years slide by
(Living on my street)
I need a resting place ’cause I
(I’d jive and strive to stay alive)
Already felt my body die
(And offer them some meat)

I need a different life I think
Perhaps I’d be the missing link
And treasure moments as I drink
Away the memories let them sink
