Lyrics Tripping Billies - Live at Whittemore Center Arena, Durham, NH, 02.19.96 - Dave Matthews Band

Okay, this is a
This is a slow version of a song that uh, that I
That we play sometimes, um
But Tim and I are gonna play a little slow version of this song

While we were above
You were standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
'Cause we're Tripping Billies

We were wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Oh, remembering once
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race, yeah

'Cause we're Tripping Billies

We are all sitting
Legs crossed, round a fire
My yellow flame, she dances
Tequila drinking, oh, our
Minds will wander to wondrous places

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
Yeah, yeah!

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow, we die, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Thank you very much everybody
Change is as good as a holiday
My man over here sure knows that change is as good as a holiday
I used to shave my head all the time
This is Tim Reynolds if you didn't catch his name earlier this evening
