The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

The Space Between the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

We're strange allies, with warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you'll be
The Space Between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The Space Between where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between the bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls, splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The Space Between our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need, dear

The Space Between what's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...

For my favorite hippy-
Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose



Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

"favorite hippy"? Hmmm, guess we'll always wonder who ya meant by that.

Dadgum shame I didn't bring "Suzi" along to the hotel, I know that song backwards & forwards, & I have a great John Prine-style sucking-chest-wound vocal impression...

I meant my friend who just died. He introduced me to the love of Prine. Every Thanksgiving I sing, "Christmas in Prison" the part, "there was turkey and pistols carved out of wood, while I baste the bird :p

We could have sang a duet of "Dear Abby."

Allison's restaurant is always good for Thanksgiving.

And you may see me tonite, with an Illegal Smile... :D

The Alien Song (for those who listen)

I see a shining....
A sweeping from the clouds
A glimmer of hope
is coming to feel our light

Oh look it's flashing
This life among the stars
Reaching out to know us
to feel our might

Oh... this restless hope in you
Please... try and help us
Stand on our own

As we stopped on this pavement
and saw your dying mind
Paper, for which you're killing brothers life

Help you, we cannot trust you
we cannot understand
Your people's proud destruction
Of their own land

Oh... we're flying on from you
We... will not stay to see your fate

Watch them fly away
Watch them fly away
See the lines across the sky
Watch them fly... away

You Learn

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (like a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

A great one by Patsy...


To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous,
And reminisce with you.
Thats my desire!
To meet where gypsies play
Down in that dim caf
And dance till break of day.
Thats my desire!
Well sip a little glass of wine,
Ill gaze into your eyes divine,
Ill feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low,
Just when its time to go,
Darling, I love you so!
Thats my desire!
Well sip a little glass of wine,
Ill gaze into your eyes divine,
Ill feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine.
To hear you whisper low,
Just when its time to go,
Oh, darling, I love you so!
Thats my desire!

And another. I guess I'm on a deCline. :D

That wonderful someone
Who makes the stars all shine
Who fashioned the mountains
To reach to the sky
Who brings each tomorrow
Who hears every prayer
In sunshine or sorrow
If you call hell be there

That wonderful someone
Who makes the flowers grow
Who paints evry sunset
With colors that glow
Look all around you
And these wonders youll see
Designed by that someone
For you and for me

That wonderful someone
Who makes the flowers grow
Who paints evry sunset
With colors that glow
Look all around you
And these wonders youll see
Designed by that someone
For you and for me

Another while I'm in the mood!


f.n.t.: Semisonic (again!)

Fascinating new thing
You delight me
And I know you're speaking of me

Fascinating new thing
Get beside me
I want you to love me

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

Fascinating new thing
The scene-makin'
Want a temporary savior

Fascinating new thing
Don't betray them
By becoming familiar

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless and you're precious
Even when you are not new

Oh well uh you might think I’m crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think I’m lucky
To have somethin’ to do
But I think that you’re wild
Inside me is some child

You might think I’m foolish
Or maybe it’s untrue
(you might think I’m crazy)
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
But all I want is you

You might think it’s hysterical
But I know when you’re weak
You think you’re in the movies
And everything’s so deep
But I think that you’re wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think it’s foolish
What ya put me through
(you might think I’m crazy)
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you

And it was hard so hard to take
There’s no escape without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

Oh well uh you might think I’m delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes
When you’re curious
I’ll be back around
Oh I think that you’re wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think it’s foolish
This chancy rendezvous
(you might think I’m crazy )
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you-a-oo
All I want is you
(all I want is you)
All I want is you
