Tripping Billies - Live at Luther College, Decorah, IA - February 1996

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

'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 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
Timmy

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

Thank you

Thank you
Ah, you do quiet one, loud one, quiet one, loud one
Sort of just abog-kabog, splash here, splash there
So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna mix it up a little
We'll have some heavy tones, and some light tones
And something in-between and...
This is uh, this is something the in-between one, really
