    Song Meaning:A song about life! Who knows what either is about, sometimes parts are even gibberish. Just enjoy them!

    General Comment:I find it perplexing that YEM has so many more comments than other songs that have more than ten words.

    General Comment:when I first caught a whiff of your feet, I said "boy!" They were still stinkin' and I said "Man your feet stink." You took your shoes off and I said "GOL' DANG your feet stink." The socks came off and "Shit, man your feet stink!"

    If this song is indeed about smelly feet in any way, the Zappa reference is kind of obvious, too.

    General Comment:Yes you guys (multiple) are correct with the lyrics "Wash uffizi, drive me to firenze". But no one has seemed to try and analyze the lyrics that you can actually hear, "Boy...Man...God...Shit". If you think about its anybody's rise to fame/power. When you first start out your a Boy, your new and the whole situation. Then you mature and become a Man through experience. Then, like Phish, you become really good, much like a God. And finally, all good things must come to an end, and it becomes like Shit. Trey is very clever with his word play and I love to analyze his thoughts.

    Lyric Correction:The "random indiscernible gibberish" is actually:

    Wash Uffizi, drive me to Firenze

    They cleared it up in an interview, actually. Some time ago.

    General Comment:The song lyrics are 2 tactics to bring yourself onto that plane where creative music can be constructed.

    The warmup - boy, man, god, shit. This concept sets the tone and opens the mind. Boy comes from Man. Man comes from God. God comes from....shiiiitttt.... Can't answer that one.


    The mantra - wash uffize drive me to firenze. Chanting it helps you ascend from consciousness.
