#36 Lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Yeah, yeah I scream... 

With you on my mind so heavy and so hard 

I don't know quite everything 

You make me think of a better thing... 

Better things to fill my day with 

But they don't mean to go 

Please don't be too bad with me, God 

Please don't be too good... 

Let some women's light, women's light 

Chain my hands with me singing... 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Whoa, whoa, sooner there 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Only the brave 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

(feeling the night) 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Lead me back home to life 

You made Heaven turn to dirt 

And dirt turn to dance on 

Heaven come my way 

Baby surely do 

Maybe some moonlight 

Maybe some, baby surely do 

Maybe some moonlight 

Say this say this... 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Underneath the moonlight 

Hani Hani come and dance for me 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Come on, come on go 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

Give it back, give it back... 

Oh man, I can't talk 

A man was tall and once tore a piece of freedom for us all 

When, then, you least expect it 

Man can cut from of his own heart 

For us all, that man 

Don't believe it, oh yeah... 

God, two men slice and dice each other up in his place 

They don't believe it... 

Well leave it 

Leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying 

Got me singing 

Hani Hani, come and dance for me 

(NOTE: "#36" is a song dedicated to the memory of South 

African anti-apartheid leader Chris Hani who was killed in his efforts to 

free South Africa. The mainain of "Hani, Hani come and dance with me" 

was changed to "Honey, honey come and dance with me" because Dave felt that 

the song was too upbeat to have such a sad message of death. Consequently, 

Dave also dropped the original lyrics about Hani's murder for a more upbeat 

mix of scats, moans, and lines about love and happiness. With the release of 

"Everyday," "#36" has morphed into the title track, and the band still weaves 

"#36" into "Everyday" when performing the song in concert.)
