Chalk Dust Torture Lyrics


come stumble my mirth beaten worker
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 up in with the signal your sending
but who can unlearn all the facts that i learn
i sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
all my vasoconstrictors come slowly undone

cant this wait till im old
cant i live while im young
cant i live while im young
but no peace for jezmund tonight
i plug the distress tube up tight
so watch what i say as it flutters away
to where all this emotion is kept harmless at bay
not to educate somebodys fright
(but who can unlearn all the facts that i learned
i sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
all my vasoconstrictors come slowly undone
cant this wait till im old
cant i live while im young
cant i live while im young) x2

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."
