"Beach Ball" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

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 and sky
Heaven, won't you
Answer me why?

I ring the bell till 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?
I ring the bell till someone listens

Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain

I ring the bell till 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 till someone listens

Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain

Ring the bells till someone listens

Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a beach ball
Give me love, big as a beach ball
