Fly Famous Mockingbird Songtext
von Phish

As the sound starts to get quieter here
Give me a little bass, give me a little bass
Here so I can have a little bottom here, Mike
Give me a little bass, a little bass there Mike
Ah, play some bass, thank you

Okay, the sound′s gone backward and that bass, that bass
Knows, that bass note is starting to trigger something
I can see it happening out there in the
Little depths of the darkness out there
It has something to do with time and space
And as we're talking here things are sort
Of circling backwards in time and space
Circling backwards, everything′s circling backwards

And as we're standing here underneath you, somewhere
In the cir—back, back innards of time and space you're
You′re feeling water rising up under your feet here
And the whole thing is flooded with water


Right now, everywhere down on the dance floor is flooded with water
And it′s, it's back and everything′s kind of connected again
And we're standing up here and we′re
Saying that we're gonna make it up to you
We′re gonna make it up to you, we're gonna make it up to you
We're gonna make it up to you

We′re gonna make it up to you, don′t worry
Don't worry, we′ll be playing again

So here we are at the beginning of three nights now here and

We're standing here and the water is at your feet
But this time instead of canceling a
Show, which is what happened last time
This water sort of starts to bubble underneath us
And as we′re standing here the water is bubbling and it's bubbling
And it′s starting to boil and it's
It's turning into sort of a liquid goo
And it bubbles and bubbles, molecules bouncing off
And everybody′s feet going like this to the water
And this time we′re not gonna let it happen so

We're doing this
Mixing it all up and the molecules bouncing
Against each other, bouncing against each other

And slowly the water is starting to sort of change form

And it starts to turn into sort of bubbles of steam

And all the kicking around is heating the water up


And it′s starting to boil and turn to steam

And the steam is drifting up

And it starts to drift up into the air

And you can see all the steam drifting up
And as it drifts up it starts to engulf the entire crowd
And we start realizing that we've made a horrible mistake
We′ve kicked our legs too hard
And the heat, the molecules moving around has been too much
And the whole entire room, we're all
Turning into a huge bubble of white steam
And the white steam is sort of drifting up
Condensation of all human forms
And we feel ourselves a big cloud

And the cloud is rising up, it′s rising up, rising up

What's going on?
It's starting to lift up into the air and slowly the
Steam, we′re, we′re pushing up against the ceiling now
Pushing up against the ceiling
Slowly, there's little cracks in the wood and the steam is too thin
And it′s seeping through the cracks
We start to feel the cloud lift up above the theater
And it's going higher now
And you look down, you can see the theater
Down below and the street going off

And all of Atlanta stretching out below us

And we start to get caught in the, caught in the wind
And the, the cloud now is rising up into the sky
And we′re caught in the wind, floating along up above Atlanta

And we start to see the whole eastern seaboard now below us
We're looking down, we′re looking down and getting higher and higher
And you can see the ocean stretching off in one distance
And the tip of Florida going down the other way and the continent
And we start to get blown out to sea
And the cloud is going out to sea and we're all going out to sea now
And we're drifting up higher and higher

The cloud′s going higher and higher and higher

And slowly it just mingling with other clouds
And we′re up in the sky now, drifting down

And suddenly you start to feel a sort of electricity
Electricity tingling through your body
And something's happening, it′s getting, starting to change
The cloud's starting to change
And it gets a little darker and a little bit darker
And a little bit meaner and you start to feel mean
But suddenly, off in the distance you start to hear thunder crackling

And you realize that we′ve mingled with a storm
And we start to feel ourselves combining
Together into little drops of rain
And one by one the drops of rain start drifting
Out of the cloud and falling towards the ground

And we all feel ourselves falling
A drop of rain down towards the ground
And as we fall down we look down below us and we realize that we're
We′re coming down onto a, closer and closer to the ground
And we look down and we see

A huge green field

Drifting off in the distance on one side

At this point the drops of rain start to
Slow down and widen into little envelopes
And now we're floating down
And we see the field off in that distance
And right over there we see a huge mountain going up into the sky
All the way up into the sky

And over there we see a forest drifting around the mountain
The mountain is rising out of the forest
A little city and the green field
And we're floating down towards it
And we realize that we′re about to land

In Game Henchman
We′re coming down into Game Henchman
We look up in the mountain
As we see off in the distance in the mountain
We see a tiny black speck on the mountain
