Limb by Limb Lyrics by Phish

Amsterdam

1998

[Intro]
The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone
But when I’m done freezing I want to be alone

[Verse]
Never want my hand cut off
Never want a hacking cough
Never need a cliffside push
Never turn my brain to mush
Always give me what I lack
Always take the best parts back
Always recognize your fate
Always just a moment late
Left is where I always turn
Left is how I’m forced to learn
Left the route my walking takes
Left alone with my mistakes
Up against a person who
Up ’til now I never knew
Up from hell the answer blew
Up or down it’s up to you

[Chorus]
Drop me off the Chinese wall
And peel my fingers off the rim
I come unglued while in mid-air
And land to reform
Limb by limb

[Bridge]
(And I am taken far away)
Lingering slowly and melting away
(And I am taken far away)
Tossed with the salad and baled with the hay
(And I am taken far away)
Pooling like water that drips from above
(And I am taken far away)
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove

[Chorus]
Drop me off the Chinese wall
And peel my fingers off the rim
I come unglued while in mid-air
And land to reform
Limb by limb
