LIMB BY LIMB            By:Anastasio/Marshall

(Trey)
The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone,
But when I'm done freezing, I want to be alone.

(Trey and Page alternate lines, Trey begins)

Never want my hand cut off, (Trey)
        -Never want a whooping cough (Page)
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's the room my walking takes,
        -Left alone with my mistakes
Up againsed a person who,
        -Up 'till now I never knew
Up from hell the answer blew,
        -Up and down, it's up to you

(All 4)
Drop me off the chinese wall,
And peel my fingers off the rim.
I'm come unglued while in mid-air,
And land to reform,
Limb by Limb,

And I am taken far away (Mike)
--Lingering slowly and melting away (Trey)
And I am taken far away
--Tossed with the salad and bailed 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
And I am taken far away
--Silence is suddenly smothering me
And I am taken far away
--Nothing I touch and nothing I see
And I am taken far away
--Posseses impulses fit to be seen-
And I am taken far away
--If I am the drone than where is my queen
(Repeat verse again)

Drop me off the chinese wall,
And peel my fingers off the rim.
I'm come unglued while in mid-air,
And land to reform,
