Текст песни Tripping Billies (1.30.95) - Live at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, RI 01.31.95 - Dave Matthews Band

It's nice to be back up here in Providence
It's nice to be inside Lupo's again this evening
But it's especially nice to be travelling around the country with our good friend Vagan and Tide, I hope you all enjoy that
And I hope you Americans see that

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'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die
'Cause we're tripping billies

We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows, shadows falling down on the beach sand
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

We're tripping billies

We are all sitting, legs crossed 'round a fire
My yellow flame, she dances
Tequila drinking, oh, our minds will wonder
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'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die
Take it up, boy

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

Thank you USA yeah
Well, thank you USA
It's your boy Tinsley here on the violin
Thank you very much
