![]() The Story of the Ghost (1994) [ larger cover art ] |
It's easy sometimes when you just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around
Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea
Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile
Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be
Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile
Birds of a feather are flocking outside(x4)
Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance
Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
Of ritual drumming although at first glance
You thought you could run but you won't take a chance
It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
They hang on emotions they bottle inside
They peck at the ground
And strut out of stride.
Birds of a feather are flocking outside(x4)

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 06:49 Such a simple and silly song - cant stand it! Just had to get that off my chest! |
| thatslongformud (don't call it Frisco) | Posted: Feb 22, 2012 - 14:18 Love Phish, but this is one of my least favorite of their songs |
| meuks | Posted: Feb 22, 2012 - 14:17 More Phish please!!!!! |

| CanuckMakem (Medicine Hat) | Posted: Jan 21, 2012 - 21:17 Definition of OVERRATEDtransitive verb : to rate, value, or estimate too highly <overrates his importance to the team> : Phish |

| planet3one9 (seattle) | Posted: Oct 18, 2011 - 19:39 Are the birds of a feather
flocking outside ?? I'm not quite sure - I didn't catch that the first FIFTEEN HUNDRED times they sang that. Please shoot me. Or better yet, them. |
| Sabata (Bundang, South Korea) | Posted: Oct 08, 2011 - 04:07 Very good |
| superfido (Sweden) | Posted: Sep 17, 2011 - 04:48 This gets on my nerves. EEEEEE! |

| repeat108 (Ridgway, CO 81432) | Posted: Jun 14, 2011 - 18:37 The studio production work on this is incredible....... |
| S-curvy (Lovely Alameda, the Isle of Style) | Posted: May 03, 2011 - 18:31 That is remarkable. I was just thinking that I don't recall hearing much Phish on RP and I wish Bill would spin some more.... |
| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Apr 12, 2011 - 13:35 Reminds me of another local band called 'Umphrey's McGee'. I'm sure they were influenced by Phish. This is cool...but a bit too repetitive for my tastes. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Apr 12, 2011 - 13:34 I can't count how many times I have seen Phish live... they are incredible live... love these virtuosos... |

| raerae333 (Jacksonville, FL) | Posted: Mar 01, 2011 - 15:43 i've grown into liking Phish after years of constant bullying by my friends, but I was actually happy with RP being a pretty much Phish free zone..... |
