Artist/Band: Phish
Lyrics for Song: Lizards
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Phish



Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight

Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

He was on his way to see the king

Wilson Wilson Wilson

He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

As he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his boot heel

He said there was a place where we should go

So he led me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which

We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing



He said I come from the land of darkness

I come from the land of doom

I come from the land of He-man!

From the land of the big baboon

But I'm never ever going back there

And no I couldn't if I tried

'Cause I come from the land of Lizards

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died



He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct

From doing things smart people don't do

He said that he was once a Lizard too

His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save

His people from the fate that lay before them.

Their clumsy end was perilously near

The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened

By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

In all of Prussia only one existed

And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook



He said I come from the land of darkness

I come from the land of doom

I come from the land of He-man!

From the land of the big baboon

But I'm never ever going back there

And no I couldn't if I tried

'Cause I come from the land of Lizards

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died



The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets

Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

The trick was to surrender to the flow

We walked along beneath the moon

He lead us through the bush 'till soon

We saw before our eyes a raging river

He said that we could swim it if we tried

And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms

Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

And as his body disappeared before me

I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk



He said I come from the land of darkness

I come from the land of doom

I come from the land of He-man!

From the land of the big baboon

But I'm never ever going back there

And I couldn't if I tried

'Cause I come from the land of Lizards

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died
