Limb by Limb
_______________________________________________

(Trey)
The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone
but when I'm done freezing I wanna be alone

(Trey and Page alternate lyrics here, Trey sings the first)

(Trey)                          (Page)
Never want my hand cut off
                                 don't want a hacking cough
Never need a glib side push
                                 never turn my brain to mush
Always giving what I lack
                                 always take the best parts back
a drop in the mud of 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 to my mistakes
Up against a person who
                                 up til now I never knew

(Trey only now)

But from hell the answer grew
Up and down these thoughts to you

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 by limb by limb... (Trey and page both sing this for a
while)

(under this next lyrics part, Page keeps singing "limb by limb",
Mike repeats "Never taken far away", and Trey sings the lyrics)

Flickering slowly, melting away
tossed with the salad and baled with the hay
cooling like water that drips from above
trampled by lambs and pent by the dove
Thing is, though, you found in your cave
nothing I touch and nothing I see
posseses a pulse or is fit to be seen
I am betrothed, but where is my queen?

(everyone repeats "Limb by Limb by Limb..." til the jam starts)
