I'm up and I can take what you give
And I'm here but I don't want you to live with me
`Cause all I want is a taste for free

I'm down and I will drag you along and around
Until you burst into song and unwind
And leave your new life behind for a while

Cause I can see through the lines
Cause I can see through the lines

I'm down and I will drag you along and around
Until you burst into song and unwind
And leave your new life behind for a while

I'm out and I will stay here alone and without
Someone controlled by the phone and TV
`Cause what it's doing to me is fine

Cause I can see through the lines
Cause I can see through the lines

Oooh oooh
Step into space
Oooh oooh
Alter my place
Oooh oooh
That someone else made
Why I have stayed
Into things I could be
Or if I could see
Into fog that surrounds
And pins me to the ground

I can see through the lines
I can see through the lines
I can see through the lines
I can see through the lines

I knew it was only a matter of time .
I miss phish as well but unless Trey gets his shit together, having them reunite wouldn't make much sense.

Now before I get shot at with rocket launchers and roman candles allow me to clarify my statement....
I have been playing the bass guitar for 20 years or so, have gigged extensively over the years and I have done plenty of session work. I love music in general. I've lived it almost religiously for most of my life. I've studied classical and jazz for many years now and enjoy a wide range of styles, particularly improvisational music.

My first Phish show was Atlanta, GA 10/31/96 (fucking incredible!!!)
My last Phish show was Coventry, VT their last two shows....

I've seen about 2 to 10 shows for every tour in between. I have the utmost respect and admiration for these guys as a group. Some of the best times of my life were at Phish shows and of course "me have no regrets".

My only consistent beef I've had with them has specifically been with the alpha dog himself, Ernesto J Anastasio III a.k.a Trey. Treys playing peaked in the late 90's and since then has gotten pretty sloppy. Now believe me, I understand that when you improvise live onstage it can get a bit scary which can lead to mistakes. But when you have been playing with the same guys for that many years there shouldn't be any reason for completely fucking up as much as he does, unless you're totally wasted.

So anyway theres my 2 cents
