Phish – The Moma Dance lyrics
And all throughout I gaze and glimpse you
Loving never did convince you
I see you when you're all alone
It's like a person I've not known

The moment ends though I feel winds
Blowing differently than ever before
And they're pushing me further from shore

A frothy cap the steady slap
Of lines against the rail
A biting rain take in the main

Up the rigging take in sail mind the skipper we'll not fail
He'll bring out wine all will be fine just hear the order watch the sail
The moment ends

    The Moma Dance was written in response to the Black Rhombus (entrance to Gamhenge) was moved from where Trey and Tom spent their time with it to the MOMA Museum of Modern Art. It has since moved back it's home on the lawn near the Green Grassy Field on the grounds of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. These are the same grounds that Albert Einstein wandered during his time in Princeton. The Institute is bordered by a forest on one side and if you walk the path, you'll come to an old suspension bridge, which has also been referenced by Trey Anastasio during stories about Gamehenge
