tripping billies

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 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 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 die
