Cryptical Envelopment
Lyrics: Jerry Garcia
Music: Jerry Garcia
The other day they waited
The sky was dark and faded (note 1)
Solemnly they stated
He has to die
You know he has to die
And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the others sound on him
But it doesn't seem to matter
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colours blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
You know he had to die

The Other One
Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Bob Weir/Bill Kreutzmann
There is longstanding confusion over the title of this song. See the
notes on the suite That's It For The Other One for an explanation. The
Grateful Dead's recordings are not always consistent in the titles
they give - see the footnotes to the discography information below.
The regular lyrics to this are as follows:
Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away
But the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day
Chorus
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space (note 1)
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land (note 2)
[chorus]
When the song was being developed, Bobby sang several variants on the
final lyrics.
