Dave Matthews Band Lyrics

-----ONE SWEET WORLD-----

Nine planets 'round the sun Only one does the sun embrace Upon this watered one So much to we take for granted So let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely If green should turn to grey Would our hearts still bloody beat? And if the mountains tumble away, river dry Would it stop the stepping feet? Oh, let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely Take all that we can get When it's done Nobody left to bury Nobody left to dig the holes And here we can rest safely One Sweet World Around this star is spinning One Sweet World And in her breath I'm swimming And here I will rest in peace. "Thank you very much, y'all. That's another fun one. This is our newer song, it's called, (Engligh accent) creatively, as it's the forty-first song that we wrote, it's called '#41.' (Pause - back to regular voice) Kinda as creative as 'Dave Matthews Band.'"

-----#41-----

Come and see I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles Oh, I'm coming slow but speeding Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front My play on time is won Oh, but the difficulty's coming here Well, I will go in this way And I find my own way out I won't tell you to stay But I'm coming to much more Me All at once the ghosts come back Reeling in you now Oh, what if they came in crushing I used to play For all of the loneliness that nobody notices now Oh, begging slow I'm coming here Oh, I'm waiting I wanted to say, I wanted to play, I wanted to love you I'm only this far And only tomorrow leads my way I'm telling you, waltzing back and pushing into your head Please, I wouldn't pass you by Oh, and I wouldn't take any more what What sort of man goes by I will bring water Why won't you ever be glad? It melts into wonder I know I'm praying for you Why won't you run Into rain and play And let tears splash all over you "Thank you very much. (Growling voice) Yow. Thank ya very much."

-----TRIPPING BILLIES-----

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 around a fire My yellow flame she dances Tequila drinking Oh, our minds will wander 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'll die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we'll die... Timmy... Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we'll die... "Thank you. Thank you. (Psuedo-homosexual voice) Ah. We do a quiet one, then a loud one, a quiet one, a loud one, sort of just (mumbling). A splash here, splash there. (Rough voice) So what we're gonna do is we're gonna mix it up a little: we'll have some heavy tunes, and some light tunes, and something in between. (English accent) This is a sort of in between one, really."

-----JIMI THING-----

Lately I've been feeling low A remedy is what I'm seeking I take a taste of what's below Come away to something better What I want is what I've not got But what I need is all around me I reach and search and never stop And I'll say... If you could keep me floating just for a while 'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called Jimi If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you Sometime a Jimi Thing Slide my way and keep me swingin' I'd like to show you what's inside But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it Brother chaos rules all about Well, sometimes I walk there Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care Bereaved as I'm feeling You know, the day is gone I'm on my back Staring up at the ceiling I take a drink to sit back and relax Smoke my mind makes me feel Better for a small time What I want is what I've not got And what I need is all around me I reach and search and never stop And I'll say... If you could keep me floating just for a while 'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mummy If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you Sometime this Jimi Thing Slide my way and keep me swingin' I'd like to show you what's inside But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it Brother chaos rules all about Well, sometimes I walk there Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care Bereaved as I'm feeling Lately I've been feeling low And a remedy's what I'm looking for I take a taste of what's below Come away... If you could keep me floating just for a while 'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mummy If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you Sometime this Jimi Thing Slide my way and keep me swingin' I'd like to show you what's inside But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it Brother chaos rules all about Well, sometimes I walk there Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care Bereaved as I'm feeling

-----WHAT WILL BECOME OF ME?-----

Wondering what... What will become of me When I'm all bought (?) out I'm spinning out, I'm always I'm spinning down that way What will become of me When I'm all bought (?) out So wise, so well and then Wondering aloud ??? What will become of me? Talking to Tim: "I think I'm gonna try that one."

-----SATELLITE-----

Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasen Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Satellite, headlines read Someone's secrets you've seen Eyes and ears have been Satellite dish in my yard Tell me more, tell me more Who's the king of your satellite castle? Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasen Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds, no resrictions Television we bounce 'round the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold Spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasen Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds, no restrictions Television we bounce from the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes "Thank y'all. Thank y'all."

-----CRASH INTO ME-----

"But it's a sweet song, it's a sweet song. I hope!" You've got your ball, You've got your chain Tied to me tight, tie me up again. Who's got their claws In you, my friend? Into your heart I'd beat again Sweet like candy to my soul Sweet you rock, And sweet you roll Lost for you, I'm so lost for you Oh, and you come crash into me And I come into you I come into you In a boy's dream In a boy's dream And oh, I kiss you just so I know Oh, in your eyes, love, it glows so I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you. Oh, and you come crash into me, yeah Baby, please come crash into me In a boy's dream In a boy's dream Oh, if I've gone overboard Then I'm begging you To forgive me Oh, in my haste When I'm holding you up girl, Close to me And you come crash into me, yeah Baby, and I come into you Oh, hike up your skirt a little more And show the world to me Yeah, hike up your skirt a little more And show your world to me In a boy's dream In a boy's dream I watch you there By the window And I stare at you You wear nothing, but you Wear it so well Tied up and twisted, The way I'd like to be For you, for me, come crash into me Aw yeah, come crash into me, baby Crash into me... Crash into me... You know, well, I'm the king of the castle, You're the dirty rascal, crash into me. Won't you come crash into me, baby... The way you do, the way you do... Oh yes, I see the waves Come and crash into me. Oh yes, I see the waves come and crash into me. Crash into me... Crash into me, baby...

-----RAPUNZEL-----

Ha, open wide All so good I'll eat you Take me for a ride In your sweet delicious, Perfect, little mouth There upon I linger You will have no doubt That I'll do my best for you I do, love... Let's stop to get it going Lost myself just thinking 'Bout the two of us From each other drinking Begin with the lips Fingertips and kissing Turn me inside out I do my best for you Up and down we go From the top you push me This is such a thrill Lost in love and dancing Shake your tambourine You blow my head open Of one thing I'm sure I do my best for you I do... For you I would crawl Through the darkest dungeon Climb a castle wall If you're my Rapunzel You let your hair down Right in through your window Good, they locked the door 'Cause I do my best for you I think the world of you All of my heart I do Blood through my veins for you You alone have all of me I give my world to you To you I will be true Too good to be real The smell of something cooking My soul you're to steal Food of love we're filling What you've given me For it there is no measure Of one thing I know I'll give my best for you I think the world of you All of my heart I do Blood through my veins for you You alone have all of me From you my strength is full To carry your burdens, too I give my word to you Hip lock up so tight You know drive me crazy Crazy is alright With you looking at me You make me feel high Every single thing you do to me Is like I'm drunk Given me, given me the shivers

-----THE LAST STOP-----

Fire The sun is well asleep The moon is high above But fire grows from the East And how is this Hate so deep? Lead us all so blindly, killing, killing Fools are we If hate's the gate to peace This is the last stop. For raining tears... War The only way to peace Well, I don't fall for that Raining tears You're righteous, so righteous... You're always so right Go ahead and dream Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one. Raining tears... Oh no Gracious even God Bloodied on the cross Your sins are washed enough A mother's cry: "Is hate so deep Must my baby's bones This hungry fire feed?" Smoke clouds roll in The symphony of death This is the last stop. Scream Right is wrong now Ha, shut up you big lie This black and white lie You comb your hair to hide Your lying eyes You're righteous, so righteous... You're always so right But why your lie Go ahead and dream Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one This is the best stop. Here there's always blowing up And I hope that we can break it down So it's not so black and white This is the last stop. Here there's more than showing us And I hope that we can break it down So it's not so black and white Black and white You're righteous, you're righteous... You're always so right And there you are nailing a good tree And then say forgive me, forgive me Go ahead and dream Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one This is the last stop... Here there is more than growing up And I hope that we can break it back It's not so black and white So right...

-----DON'T DRINK THE WATER-----

Don't drink the water here... Come out, come out, no use in hiding. Come now, come now, can you not see There's no place here, what were you expecting? No room for both, just room for me. So you will lay your arms down, Yes, I will call this home. Away, away, you have been banished. Your land is gone, and given to me. And here I will spread my wings. Yes, I will call this home. What's this you say, you feel a right to remain? Then stay and I will bury you. What's that you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place? Well, I will silence you. Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving. Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now. And as you go I will spread my wings. Yes, I will call this home. I have no time to justify to you, Fool, you're blind, move aside for me. All I can say to you my new neighbor, You must move on or I will bury you. Now as I rest my feet by this fire Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them. I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly Upon these poor souls, I'll build Heaven and call it home. Cause you're all dead now. I live with my justice And I live with my greedy need I live with no mercy And I live with my frenzied feeding I live with my hatred And I live with my jealousy I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me Don't Drink the Water Don't Drink the Water Blood in the water Don't Drink the Water
