Cryptical Envelopment

The other day they waited
The sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated
He has to die
You know he has to die

And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die

The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the others sound on him
But it doesn't seem to matter

And when the day had ended
With rainbow colours blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
You know he had to die


The Other One (aka The Faster We Go, The Rounder We Get)
Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Bob Weir/Bill Kreutzmann

Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away
But the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day

Chorus
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle

Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land

[chorus]
  

    


Dr. Paul Smith writes:



You know, for that matter, while I've got you on the line, I wondered why in
the Annotated Dead Lyrics book when it talks about "the faster we go the
rounder we get" there isn't any reference to the "Lorentz transformations":

(changes of shape of objects when they reach speeds near that of light).

        Does Billy Idol have a song about that too? <grin>





(see <deadsongs.vue.91> for the Billy Idol reference)
  

    
We need to get Dr. Smith to join the WELL, or to become part of the
annual Grateful Dead caucus at the Popular Culture conference in
Albuquerque.

Or, better yet, both!
