“Well, welcome to the season
of suspicion and what not
where the only reason
is based on why not
maybe your bank account
is not a high enough amount
just jingling your pockets
full of quarters, well
Love knows no borders.”
“So many things I do
I can't explain to you
Right now, right now
Love is everywhere
Right now, I'm frightened how
Love is here, beware”
“There is no mother like pain”
“If you're telling yourself a story
Where the secrets twist like vines
And you know where the bodies are buried
But you can't remember where you buried the mines”
“Tell me no lies
Tell me no lies
Is it stranger to live?
Is it stranger to die?
What would I do?
What would I do?
If a white wooden cross meant that I'd lost you”
“I remember when wars would end
Remember when wars would end?
Now when something's dead
Now when something's dead
We try to kill it again.”
“All around is anger, automatic guns
Death in large numbers, no respect for woman, or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
And He could not shake his cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
Yeah this is as good as it gets
My my my, It's a beautiful world”

“I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Its only love we were looking for”

“I did what I could
Until I couldn’t anymore
When I fell flat
I fell flat on the floor
You gave what you had
Until you couldn’t anymore
I think that’s the reason most people are poor
So lay me down
Don’t let me free
Because when all went to Hell
You depended on me
And I failed”
“keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong
Na, oh, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways
Keep your heart strong”
“One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
One way or another, one way or another,
One way or another, this darkness got to give.”
“Stand beside me, baby, won't you hear the angels sing?
Child, won't you hear the angels sing?
Baby, won't you hear the angels sing?
Jesus Christ is our Lord
Jesus Christ, he is your friend”

“Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me,
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been.”
Wisdom from lyrics. Instrumental edition.
The title for one of the pieces is “Hallucinate A Solution,” and that was something that I heard Phil say one night. We were playing at Terrapin [Crossroads, with Phil Lesh & Friends], and one of the band members asked him how we were going to make a certain transition in the set we were about to play because Phil had an elaborate transition he wanted to make between songs. He said, “I’m not really sure. Why don’t we just hallucinate a solution as we’re playing?”
It’s the quote about the song that led me to include it in the Musical Worldview Project, though I do love the song.
