The story of “Llama” takes place in the Phish world of Gamehendge, the setting of The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday. There have also been other songs outside of TMWSIY to also feature this setting.
Quote from the Picture of Nectar booklet,
Many years after the overthrow of Wilson, a rebel soldier...
[Verse]
Sunrise over the turquoise mountains, messenger birds in sight
They came up through the valley, both sides at a time
Through the cold steady rain; raid! I bend down
Poke a double decker on a llama, taboot, llama, taboot, taboot
Trigger a Blastoplast, ramshackle laker recedes, I start to run
It was the loudest thing I'd ever heard, and I knew my time had come to enter the delta
[Chorus]
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
Leave it on press, depress, depress
Llama, taboot, taboot
[Outro]
Llama, taboot, taboot
Llama, taboot, taboot
Taboot, taboot
Taboot, taboot
(Taboot)
