|---|---|
| By: Trey, Tom Marshall, & The Dude of Life Discography: Appears on The White Tape and Lawn Boy Times Played: 329 Vocals: Trey (lead), Mike, Page & Fish (backing, for "Run Run Run" section) | Inspired by The Dude of Life lyric "Set the gearshift in the high gear of your soul! You've gotta run like a space antelope, out of control!" written with Trey in 1982 during their days in Space Antelope, Tom Marshall's first lyrical contribution to Phish were the remaining lyrics. This song starts out with a simple groove that eventually builds into a blistering jam, where the so-called "Machinegun Trey" thrives. It eventually boils back down to a funky groove before heading into the lyrics, which signal the end of the song. |

- Lyrics
Trey sings (more like "speaks"):
Rye, rye, rocco.
Marco Esquandolas.
Been you to have any spike, man?
Sung in background by rest of band:
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Over which, Trey shouts the "chorus":
Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul.
You've got to run like an antelope: out of control
