Lyric of the Day: “Dog Faced Boy”

phish

I can’t spare a moment for the dog faced boy
I won’t lend another hand to the worm girl of Hanoi
Don’t deplete my oxygen for the guy who’s turning blue
But ask me, and I’ll do anything for you

Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad
Whenever I think of you, the best friend I ever had…
Before I gave it up all for nothing
Well, I lied and I cheated
And it made me feel bad
It made me feel guilty for not being true
Oh the months I spend trying for a way to explain
In the end all I could do as turn my head in shame

Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad
Because you deserve better and once I was it
But somehow my good intentions just got up and git

I can’t spare a moment for the dog faced boy
I won’t lend another hand to the worm girl of Hanoi
Don’t deplete my oxygen for the guy who’s turning blue
But ask me, and I’ll do anything for you

- Written by Trey Anastasio, Jonathan Fishman, Mike Gordon, Tom Marshall and Page McConnell. Appears on the Phish album Hoist.
