Blaze On Lyrics


Climb that hill, stay on your feet
Scramble for your footing when it gets too steep
You're on the highway now with higher hopes
While all around are rolling eggs with living yolksYou never get too sad, you never get too blue
It must be all the chemtrails raining down on you
The justice of the peace can't help you anymore
And they just took the covers off the justice of warYou got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone
So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze on
You got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone
So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze onThe storm is passing through, lay down your sticks and stones
The struggle's over now, we're all just flesh and bones
We were wrong before, it was wrong to trust
The shadows cast were only light and dustAnd then one day you find to your intense delight
That three wrong turns can really make a right
So why not be like me? be proud of all your crimes
'Cause when I screw up once, I do it two more timesYou got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone
So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze on
You got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone

So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze onAnd we'll be dancing in the fields, running through the moor
Tripping on the barbed wire, buried near the shore
Blazing like a comet, brighter than the full moon
So you better get ready, 'cause a change is coming soonI met a liar called the messiah
I got the frying pan, I wanted fire
I saw a red dress, I met a daughter
I got the quicksand, I prayed for waterYou got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone
So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze on
You got your nice shades on, and the worst days are gone
So now the band plays on, you got one life, blaze on

Phish is an American rock band most noted for its extended improvisations, elongated song compositions and the varied genres represented in their song repertoire. The band was formed in 1983 in Burlington, Vermont, United States where they all attended college. The band's lineup consists of Trey Anastasio (guitar, vocals), Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals) and Jon Fishman (drums, vocals, vacuum cleaner). The band went on hiatus in 2000, but returned in 2002 only to split for what seemed for good in 2004. However, on September 30, 2008, the band announced, via their website, that they would reunite for three shows on March 6th, 7th and 8th, 2009 at the Hampton Colosseum. Later the band announced a summer tour for June of 2009 beginning with a night at Fenway Park and later added more dates in late July and August, featuring 4 nights at Red Rocks to begin the tour. The band has continued to be active since with continued touring and a new album.

Although the group received little radio play or MTV exposure, Phish developed a large following by word of mouth. Phish's music has elements of many genres including jazz, bluegrass, country, heavy metal, reggae, folk, rock, ska, pop, blues, progressive rock, show tunes, classical, acoustic, barber shop quartet and calypso.

While often compared to the Grateful Dead, Phish finds their roots in jazz and alternative rock as opposed to the Dead who were more influenced by folk, country and blues.

Each Phish concert is different in terms of the songs included and the order in which they appeared, and (for many songs) in the way in which they were performed. Also unique to Phish are their large summer festivals which draw upwards of 70K people to remote areas in Maine and New York State as well as close to 100K for their epic Millennium Show in the Everglades of South Florida.

Along with Bob Dylan and The Beatles, Phish were one of the first bands to have an Internet newsgroup - rec.music.phish - launched in 1991.

In regards to Phish, Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed "Given their sense of community, their ambition and their challenging, generous performances, Phish have become the most important band of the Nineties."
