I heard this song is about Taft, the boarding school Trey graduated from, and where I currently go. but that could just be taftie folklore, and it could actually be written by Tom. But whoever wrote it about whatever school, it hits a real cord man.

Vasoconstrictors can also "come undone" through certain drugs. Maybe ol' tommy was talking about going to this boring school high or cutting loose afterwards.

this is a great song. Tom marshall wrote it and then the music was added to it later. Tom Marshall is a good friend of trey's who has either written or co-written the lyrics for most of phish's songs.

Word. At the beginning of this year I wrote all the lyrics to Torture on every desk I sat at. Some teachers asked the classes for information on the "Chalkdust Vandalist"...If I'm not mistaken, this is a variation of a poem that Tom Marshall wrote, the music was added to the words, rather than the other way around. That's pretty hard to do and have the music and lyrics fit each other, but I think they were able to blend the two nicely.

This being Phish and all, any time I see reference to "plugging up a tube" I first think smoking pot, either joint or bowl being a tube. But yea, I know, not all Phish songs are about drugs, right?
