Download: Dave Matthews Band - Beachball

Another new song made its debut last night. This time one of the B-Side songs from the Bonus Disc of Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, 'Beachball'.

Dave Matthews Band - 'Beachball' (Live 29th April 2009)

'Beachball' Lyrics, transcribed by Fink:
"All the world is like a beach ball
out in space, between the waves
In the hands of laughing babies
all the world is gumball(?) shaped

Hello moon, Hello stars in the sky
Heaven won't you answer me, why?

I ring the bell until someone listens
look upon this burning city
victory, smiles the wicked man
does he feel the weight of every finger
hanging off his heavy hands.

Ring the bell til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.

Ring the bell til someone listens
Melt your words right to my skin
and your smile my flesh and bones
From the mountains i will sing you
through your veins my river flows

I ring the bell til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.

Ring the bell til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
and wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love as big as a beachball, oh oh oh, yea.
Give me love as big as a beachball, yea."

Thanks for the correction. Updated. Great song though. Wonder why it was relegated to the Bonus Disc.

Pretty sure it's "dash the hopes of those who hate me." That makes way more sense, anyway. Thanks for the download! :)
