Sugar Shack Lyrics - Joy - Phish

Standing on the edge of the cliff, I start to slip 

Don't mind if I slide off 

Now I feel my mood starts to lift, I find my grip 

And the screaming fades away below 

I grab myself and spin me around, I start to sprint 

I climb down to steadier ground 

If I can bushwhack it on back to the shack behind those hills 

I'll find the world is finally still 

Run through pale dark woods to that sugar shack 

Breathe warm steam and hide in that old sugar shack 

Boiling heat, maple steam, frozen snow, then it flows 

When you leave your maple dream wait till spring to go again 

A mosaic of lies I tried to arrange in ways that shelter the blame 

I thought I might have made off clear with all of the loot 

I plucked and ate all the fruit 

Then I started hearing the yells and shattering plates 

Drowned out by your slithering stares 

I was followed and chased and caught and tied up 

By the hay right until I made my escape 

Run through pale dark woods to that sugar shack 

Breathe warm steam and hide in that old sugar shack
