1. Part of the lyric to "He's Gone"

Rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better but
I know him
Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face
right off you head

4. Which song was written as an indictment of Mickey Hart's dad

who while acting as the Dead's financial manager, ripped off all their money.

Thus words like "Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same" also appear in the song.

Dead lore tells us that the album that became known as "Steal Your Face" the band originally intended to call "Skullfuck" but the record company execs wouldn't go for it.
