Tripping Billies

Dave Matthews Band

We were above 
You 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 
'Cause we're tripping billies 

We're wearing nothing 
Nothing but out 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 
'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 wonder 
To wonderous 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
