Lyrics
We were above, and 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 our tomorrow, we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our 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
'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 wander
To the 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 our tomorrow, we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our tomorrow, we'll die
Sing 'em out, folks, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our tomorrow, we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our tomorrow, we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our tomorrow, we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For our tomorrow, we'll die, yeah
