In response to a couple of postings:
1. The shape it takes could be yours to choose.
From American Beauty - You're My Woman (Make yourself easy)
2. Might as well travel the elegant way.
From Garcia's (and the Dead's) album Reflections -
called appropriately enough - Might as Well.

I noticed a few of these in the list of lyrics that was posted to the net
a few months back. Here are two:
Althea's "You may be a clown in the burying ground" was
listed as "You may be a cloud in the varying crowd."
In bertha, instead of "ducked into a bar door," it was
"ducked into Novato."
So swallow your pride and tell everybody about your own leonardo words.

My favorite one is from my high-school buddy who had had many too
many out of the mind experiences. He has since straightened up, but
while he was sure he was Jesus (no kidding) he thought the words to Must
Have Been the Roses were:
And He laid her head down in the roses...
I agree with your interpretation of Althea. I dont know about
Bertha, but I'm sure Bertha is in a songbook.
By the way in the Book "Playing in the Band", both Hunter and
Barlow say they often like Deadheads interpretation of their words better
than their own.
