Historian: Mockingbird Staff


On four occasions in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s (10/15/86, 7/12/88, 3/11/90 and 11/14/91), Phish performed this delicious variation on “Run Like an Antelope.” Though the lyrics referencing a trip to the grocery store are different, the message of unbridled enthusiasm towards life remains the same.


Lyrics:

(Anastasio/Dude of Life)
© Who Is She? Music, BMI

Rye, rye, Rocco
Marco Esquandolas!
Been you to have any spike, man?

(Run run run run run run run run run run run run)

Walk into the supermarket
Watch the electronic doors open magically as you step onto the black pad
Slowly walk down the aisle toward the produce section

(Run run run run run run run run run run run run)
(Roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll)

Past the oranges
Past the McIntosh apples
Overlook the avocados
Past the vegetables
Head towards the ripe fruit that lies in front of you, like a beacon!

You see it!
You reach out your hand!
You lift the fruit into the air!
You raise you arm!
And you! And you!

You’ve got to roll like a cantaloupe, out of control!
Roll like a cantaloupe, out of control!
Roll like a cantaloupe, out of control!
Roll like a cantaloupe, out of control!
