From the liner notes and/or the Phish Book (I can't remember exactly): Mango Song was about a Vietnam veteran whose limbs were blown off in the war. The line was supposed to be "Your hands and feet are mangled," but Trey or Tom kept screwing it up. Turned into the version that's out there today.
I heard it was a out heroine and I think that it makes a lot of sense.
"Wrap paper ties"
"Lifts up his head and feels the sunlight in his eyes"
"Tossing in his bed at night he'll dream until he dies"
"Operations at the sink
The dribble liquid visible beneath his troubled eyes
Feels it tilt and start to slide"
and my personal favorite "Tranquil and serene until he runs out of supplies"
just a thought...
