Sledgehammer (Live) - Dave Matthews Band

You could have a steam train If you'd just lay down your tracks You could have an aeroplane flying If you bring your blue sky back All you do is call me I'll be anything you need You could have a big dipper Going up and down, all around the bends You could have a bumper car, bumping This amusement never ends I want to be your sledgehammer Why don't you call my name I wanna... Sledgehammer This will be my testimony Sledge, sledge, sledge Show me 'round your fruit cakes 'Cause I will be your honey bee Open up your fruit cakes Where the fruit is as sweet as can be I want to be your sledgehammer Why don't you call my name I want it, sledgehammer Put your mind at rest I want it, sledgehammer This will be my testimony Sledge, sledge, sledge, sledge I kicked the habit Shed my skin This is the new stuff I go dancing in (Dancing in) I kicked the habit (I kicked the habit) Shed my skin (Shed my skin) This is the new stuff (This is the new stuff) I go dancing in (Dancing in) Show for me, show for me and I will show for you I've never been louder, never been louder Help me now Come on, come on, help me now Come on, come on, help me now I want to be your sledgehammer

Crazy as I may Make my way through this world Oh, it's for no one but me to say What direction I should turn in now 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Wanting eyes and kissing lips The same as it was And will remain until I'm done and gone Strange, but it seems There's mutiny brewing inside of me now I don't want your pity Just the promise that I'll be alright 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was And will be until I'm gone Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still think it's strange? I won't be here for long Oh, I know that I feel Oh, wait and go again, again Oh, look, I'm buried Like a cancer eating away inside of me I don't want your pity Only the promise that I'll be okay now But I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was before here Here, back after all Why should I be hypnotized By the promise of a long life? Why should I hold hope In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by? Why should I lean on everything upon? I won't be here long Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still seems a truth I won't be long for here Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this On now your lips I'm drowning I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all

Sitting out on my share of this Still hope the lord forgive me my sins Ten years ago down by the lake I saw my sweet love, her watery grave I close my eyes, still see her face I'd give my soul to take back that day Hello again, it's been too long Too long, too long, hello again You know you got what it is I want Anyway (could be "In a way") I'm gonna take it from you Hello you know you got what it is I want Any way I know I'm gonna take it from you Hello, hello, you know, hello again Wish I could not to never dance, man? Over and over, I'm gonna see her face It's like beside myself to gather around under me Over and over, I'm gonna see her face Blown away, on that day I am I am a waste of the flesh on my bones I am a waste of the air in my lung So go far from me, man, go and be saved This serpent, not God, pours through my veins Here we go Hello again, it's been too long Too long, too long, hello again You know you got what it is I want Anyway I'm gonna take it from you Hello you know you got what it is I want Any way I know I'm gonna take it from you Hello, hello, you know, hello again It's like a loach tied to me Over and over I'm gonna see her face Oh man it's like the devil's skin, man Over and over I'm gonna see her face Blown away, on that day, yeah, again Hello, hello, you know, hello again You know you got what it is I want Anyway you know, my love, I'm gonna take it from you Hello, hello, you know, hello again

Oh, we were above You were standing underneath us We were not yet lovers Dragons were smokes 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 And 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 Oh, tequila drinking Oh, our minds will wander 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 Sing 'em out, folks 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, yeah
