Testo Icculus - Phish

Testo della canzone Icculus (Phish), tratta dall'album Colorado '88

Before we do the next song explaining the climb
Up the mountain, we're gonna have to give you
A quick, quick introduction about who Iculus is
See, a long time ago, in a place far, far away
A place called Gamehenge, there lived a great, great man
How about some backup vocals here?
And this great man was a great, great, great guy
And his name was, well his name was
He was a great guy because he wrote the Helping Friendly Book
And let me tell you that the Helping Friendly Book
Has saved a many persons from a life of bitter toil
Because the Helping Friendly Book contains
All the knowledge inherent in the universe
And I hope that you too can someday be enlightened
By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book
Because when I first read the Helping Friendly
Book, I was a pretty sorry case, let me tell you
But now that I've read it, goddammit
I'm a pretty cool guy, I'd say so myself
Because I know what's in the Helping Friendly Book
And let me tell you, I owe it all to
This great man, this wonderful man
Because this man was, he was the great and knowledgeable
This guy who wrote the Helping Friendly Book
He was the one and only man who wrote the Helping Friendly Book
And his name was, his name was
He was the author of the Helping Friendly Book
His name was Iculus
Written by the great and knowledgeable Iculus
Yeah, my children are old enough to read Iculus
A cold and lonely night
Running the pace of her fright
Look at her face tonight
Now that you know who Iculus is, we can move right along
Move right along with our story
Iculus lived on top of the mountain, looking down over Gamehenge
And at this point in the story, Colonel Forbin, the hero, is
Going to make the dangerous climb to the top of the mountain to
Try to find Iculus and beg him to send the famous mockingbird
Goodnight, goodnight
To send the famous mockingbird to Wilson's castle to steal the Helping
Friendly Book that Wilson has hidden in the highest tower in the
Castle and bring the Helping Friendly Book back
To the revolutionaries who will then use the
Knowledge in it to overthrow the evil King Wilson
Does everybody get what's going on here?
So Colonel Forbin is about to climb up the mountain
That one's coming up, that one's coming up
And this song was written, of course, by Neil Young
As were all of our songs
