I Didn't Know [8/16/93] - Phish

I didn’t know

I didn’t know

Well I didn’t like cheeseburger alleycats near me

A petrified Phish disease

I wish somebody’d hear me

I didn’t like maple dew, honey melon watercress

I didn’t like Phish shoes down by muddy watermelon

I didn’t seem to miss you when you kiss’d my honey water

And even showed a picture, showed her down by honey’s border

But who laid silver tooth and broke my sunny shoe shine

And all my plastic melodreams are waiting for their new shine

Pardon me, Doug (pardon me, Doug)

Is this a picture of Otis Redding?

Yes!

Yes!

Taken just before he died

Well you can give me his hide

(well you can give me his hide)

(I didn’t know)

I didn’t know that I was that far gone (8x)

-- Vacuum solo --

Well I woulda' liked to seen Bess Truman come see me

And hear all the revolutionaries come free me

'cause if it all ends up running to sneeze me

I’ll make it all here, black corners come seize me

And if you boom, back got troubles in your ear

And you can’t seem to come back and make it all clear

When eye tails and toe nails and liquid all meet me

When mustard pies and carrot eyes and flounders come greet me

(I didn’t know)

I didn’t know that I was that far gone (8x)

Pardon me, Doug (pardon me, Doug)

Is this a picture of Otis Redding?

Yes!

Yes!

Taken just before he died

Well you can give me his hide

(well you can give me his hide)
