Played only once, on 9/13/90 (NYC’s Wetlands) during a Dude of Life guest appearance, “Dahlia” deals with a  relationship that ended badly for both parties. Written by The Dude with music arranged by Phish, “Dahlia” is the opening track on the Dude’s first album Crimes of the Mind, which was recorded in August of 1991. Because the album wasn’t released until 1994, “Dahlia” was incorrectly known as “Done Me Wrong” for the intervening years. Checking out this Wetlands show is recommended, due to the many other songs debuted that night.

Dahlia and I were taking a bath
And Dahlia was smoking a cigar
And she said to me
"i bet you've never taken a bath
With a girl smoking a cigar before"
And she told me all about her car accident
She was overdosed on valium
And she made an attempt to cross "the west side highway"
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
But Dahlia, you know you've done me wrong too
She wore an old camel t-shirt
With some magic of it's own
And we listened to the stones
Sucking cherry charms blowpops
Sucking cherry charms blowpops
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
Dahlia, I know I've done you wrong
But Dahlia, you know you've done me wrong too
