Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Tripping Billies Lyrics

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'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



'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



Check 'em out, Boyd, yeah!



Eat, drink, and be merry

For tomorrow we die

Eat, drink, and be merry

For tomorrow we die
