PHISH - Theme From The Bottom lyrics

rate me

I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top<br>I live upon morsels you happen to drop<br>And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup<br>If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up<br>On the way upwards, the colors come back<br>But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black<br>The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong<br>And the night seems to go on incredibly long<br><br>So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,<br>Don't you see anything you'd like to try? <br><br>Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth<br>Jumbled events that have less than no worth<br>Time in the forest to dig under rocks<br>Or float in the ocean asleep in a box<br><br>Or sink just below all the churning and froth<br>And swim to the light source or fly like a moth<br>So toss away stuff you don't need in the end<br>But keep what's important and know who's your friend<br><br>So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,<br>Don't you see anything that you'd like to try? <br><br>If I'm swimming by<br><br>From the bottom, from the top ( x 8 )
