Grateful Dead lyrics that fit the corona virus mess.

[Zuck]

Where talk is cheap and vision true

[Greg from Chestertown]

So far away from how it feels inside....

[sml]

At least I'm enjoying the ride~

[Island Bro]

 

 

There's a dragon with matches loose on the town....

 

[Ben]

i'll meet you at the jubilee

and if that jubilee don't come

[Zuck]

There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late,

[Greg from Chestertown]

A box of rain will ease the pain

love will see you through 

[Greg from Chestertown]

Watch the world go by.....

[gr8fulpair]

I got no dime but I got some time to hear your story. 

[Rude]

About every song has something relevant. Maybe not never trust a woman but any of the others. 

[Greg from Chestertown]

Come tomorrow, I’m gonna get my take home pay, gonna leave this mother fucking town....

[Hardpan]

Twenty degrees of solitude

[Michael Doc Watson]

I have a drug addiction … caffeine,  and coffee is the delivery mechanism.

This morning I have run out of coffee beans and in these days of C-19 I will not risk my family’s life by going to the store, so the lyric is…

 

Gotta find a woman be good to me

Won't hide my coffee, try to serve me whiskey

[Greg from Chestertown]

All’s well and life looks like Easy street,

There is danger at your door....

[Milehighjoel.]

It's a lot less than prison
but it's more than a jail
I'd tell you all about it
but that's another tale

[Greg from Chestertown]

....May the four winds blow you safely home.

[redeyedbert]

In any given situation there’s always gonna be more dumb people than smart people, we ain’t many!!

 

Ken Kesey said these words (and more) over a jam coming out of Dark Star and going into Drums on 10-31-91 less than a week after Bill Graham died.  If you have never heard it, it’s powerful and fits the current situation.

"Buffalo Bill's" by E. E. Cummings

 

Buffalo Bill ’s
defunct
               who used to
               ride a watersmooth-silver
                                                                  stallion
and break onetwothreefourfive pigeonsjustlikethat
                                                                                                     Jesus

he was a handsome man 
                                                  and what i want to know is
how do you like your blue-eyed boy
Mister Death

[Hardpan]

I was blind all the time I was learning to see 

[chuckvegas]

I’d say “and I left his dead ass there by the side of the road” but that seems rather gauche.

[Greg from Chestertown]

Maybe you’ll find direction....

[Band beyond description]

Where have all the people gone my honey

[Greg from Chestertown]

Nothing’s for certain 

it can always go wrong....

come in when it’s raining

 go on out when it’s gone. 

[friendofthedead]

Steal your face (mask) right off of your head

[GratefulDevil]

My list from an email I sent friends (some already mentioned):

 

When life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door.  

 

Nothing shakin' on Shakedown Street, used to be the heart of town.

 

Where have all the people gone, today?

 

If the thunder don't get you, then the lightning will.

 

There's a fear down here we can't forget, hasn't got a name just yet.

 

You're sick of hangin' around, you'd like to travel.

 

There were days, and there were days, and there were days between.

 

Things went down we don't understand but in time I think we will.

 

In the heat of the sun, a man died of cold.

 

Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might, I don't trust to nothing but I know it come out right.

 

What A Long Strange Trip It's Been
