I Didn't Know > Songtext
von Phish

I didn′t know
I didn't know

Well, I didn′t like cheeseburger alley cats near me
Or petrified fish disease, I wish someone'd hear me
I didn't like maple dew, honey melon, watercress
I didn′t like fish juice down my honey watermelon
I didn′t seem to miss you when you kissed my honey water
And even showed a picture, showed it down my honey's border
But who laid silver tooth, broke my sunny shoe shine?
And all my plastic melon dreams are waiting for their new shine

Pardon me, Doc
Is this a picture of Otis Redding?
Yes, yes
Taken just before he died
Well, you can give me his hide
(Well, you can give me his hide)


I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know
I didn′t know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
Suck that thing, suck that thing!

Well, I'd just be the best Truman, come see me
And even all the revolutionaries come free me
′Cause if it all ends up running to sneeze me
I′ll make it all hear black corners come seize me
And if your boom back got troubles with your ear
And you can't seem to come back and make it all clear
When high tails and toenails and liquid all meet me
When mustard pies and carrot eyes and flowers come greet me


I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn't know
I didn′t know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone
I didn′t know
I didn't know that I was that far gone

Pardon me, Doc
Is this a picture of Otis Redding?
Yeah, yeah
Taken just before he died
Well, you can give me his hide
(Well, you can give me his hide)
