Favorite Grateful Dead Lyrics?

[PSYCHOcatholic]

And why?

Im trying to get into grateful dead, cause, ill honestley say i havent really listened to them much, i wasnt much a fan.

So, ill give it a chance, what are your favorite lyrics?

And why should i get into them??

[TheLizard]

You should get into them because on a bad day they make you feel good and on a good day they make you feel stoned.

[TheTallOne]

You should get into them because on a bad day they make you feel good and on a good day they make you feel stoned.

So true

Some of my favorites:

I like to get some sleep before I travel

But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in (Truckin')

A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine

Inspiration, move me brightly

light the song with sense and color

(Terrapin Station)

I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe,

But at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene

but it's all right (Touch Of Grey)

That's just a few of my favorites, but for more I would suggest you check out this site

My favorite Dead Song is Box of Rain. That song never fails to make me feel better.

Look out of any window

any morning, any evening, any day

Maybe the sun is shining

birds are winging or

rain is falling from a heavy sky -

What do you want me to do,

to do for you to see you through?

this is all a dream we dreamed

one afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway

feel your way, feel your way

like the day before

Maybe you'll find direction

around some corner

where it's been waiting to meet you -

What do you want me to do,

to watch for you while you're sleeping?

Well please don't be surprised

when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes

you find by you, you can see

clear through to another day

I know it's been seen before

through other eyes on other days

while going home --

What do you want me to do,

to do for you to see you through?

It's all a dream we dreamed

one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight

Inch your way through dead dreams

to another land

Maybe you're tired and broken

Your tongue is twisted

with words half spoken

and thoughts unclear

What do you want me to do

to do for you to see you through

A box of rain will ease the pain

and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -

wind and water -

Believe it if you need it,

if you don't just pass it on

Sun and shower -

Wind and rain -

in and out the window

like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain

I don't know who put it there

Believe it if you need it

or leave it if you dare

But it's just a box of rain

or a ribbon for your hair

Such a long long time to be gone

and a short time to be there

Other Dead lyrics I like:

Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime if you don't lay them down--Truckin'

I live in a paradise and I call it Pagan's Tomb--Uncle John's Band

She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter/She can make happy any man alive--Sugar Magnolia

Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell/Hell halfway twixt now and then--St. Stephen

We can share the wine... - Jack Straw
