Pig Lyrics - Before These Crowded Streets - Dave Matthews Band

Oh, isn't it strange 

How we move our lives for another day 

Like skipping a beat? 

What if a great wave should wash us all away? 

Just thinking out loud 

Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing 

But looking at blood 

It's alive right now 

Deep and sweet within 

Pouring through our veins 

Intoxicate, moving wine to tears 

Drinking it deep 

Then an evening spent dancing 

It's you and me 

Oh, this love will open our world 

From the dark side we can see the glow of something bright 

There's much more than we see here 

Don't burn the day away 

Don't burn the day 

Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough 

This blessed sip of life? 

Is it not enough 

Staring down at the ground? 

Oh, then complain and pray for more from above 

Ya greedy, little pig 

Stop, just watch your world trickle away 

Oh, it's your problem now 

It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years 

Oh, just love will open our eyes 

Just love will put the hope back in our minds 

Much more than we could ever know 

Oh, so, don't burn the day away 

Don't burn the day away

Oh, come sister, my brother 

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet 

I'm saying open up 

And let the rain come pouring in 

Wash out this tired notion 

Oh, that the best is yet to come 

But while you're dancing on the ground 

Don't think of, oh, when you're gone 

Love (love), love (love), love (love), what more is there? 

We need the light of love in here 

Don't beat your head 

Dry your eyes 

Let the love in there 

There's bad times 

But that's OK 

Just look for love in it 

And don't burn the day away 

Look, here are we 

On this starry night staring into space 

And I must say 

I feel as small as dust 

Lying down here 

What point could there be troubling 

Head down wondering what will become of me? 

Why concern? we cannot see 

But no reason to abandon it 

The time is short, time, that's all right 

May we'll go out in the middle of the night 

Take your hands from your eyes, my love 

All good things must come to an end some time 

But don't burn the day away 

Don't burn the day away 

Come sister, my brother 

Shake up your bones, shake up your feet 

I'm saying open up 

And let the rain come flooding in 

Wash out this tired notion 

That the best is yet to come 

But while you're dancing on the ground 

Don't think of when you're gone 

Love (love), love (love), love (love), what more is there? 

'Cause we need the light of love in here 

Don't beat your head 

Dry your eyes 

Let the love in there 

There are bad times 

Well, that's OK 

Just look for love in it, yeah 

Just look for love in it there, oh, love
