Another new song made its debut. One of the B-Side songs from the Bonus Disc of Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, 'Beachball'.
Dave Matthews Band - 'Beachball' (Live 29th April 2009)
'Beachball' Lyrics, transcribed by Fink:
"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 in the sky
Heaven won't you answer me, why?
I ring the bell until 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.
Ring the bell til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.
Ring the bell til 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 til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.
Ring the bell til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
give me scars(?) to bring me grace
and wicked wit and when i use it
that's the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love as big as a beachball, oh oh oh, yea.
Give me love as big as a beachball, yea."

Funny The Way it Is Here is the song audio
Lyin’ in the park
On a beautiful day
Sun shine on the grass
And the children play
Siren’s passin’
Fire engine’s red
Someone’s house is burning down
On a day like this
The evening comes and we’re hangin’ out
On the front step
And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebody’s is goin’ hungry
And someone else is eatin’ now
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in a lover’s kiss
Like a pretty bird on the breeze
Or water on a fish
But a bomb blast brings the building crashin’ to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is
And if you think a bout it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born
Standin’ on the bridge
Watch the water passin’ under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains, and oceans, and winters, and river’s and stars
Watch the sky in a jet plane
So far out of my reach
Is there someone up there lookin’ down on me?
Boy chase a bird
So close but every time
He never catch her
But he can’t stop trying
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart
Becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
And if you think a bout it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ out
Standin’ on the bridge
Watch the water passin’ under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars
Why I Am Lyrics
I grew from monkey into a man
Then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'Til I was slave and master
At the same damn time
But it's why I am
But it's why I am
That's why I am
Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head
And said, “Hello”
The king of man, it makes no sense
Oh and I bow to the feet, while I worship the witch
But it’s why I am
The only one that made me smile
Why I am
A snake in the woodpile
Why I am
Aww, still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can’t remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry baby, don’t cry
It’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right just remember the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
It’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right just remember the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
That’s why I am
I'm unlikely to agree
That’s why I am
I'm out of my monkey tree
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Will be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
Where my story ends is when I get with him
Heaven or hell, I am going there with the Groogrux King
That’s why I am
The color of your pretty eyes
Why I am
A snake in the woodpile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can’t remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry, baby, don’t cry
Spaceman Lyrics
Probably get it wrong just to get it right, girl
Your probably gonna move but I caught you now
Now I’ll just have to bow down now
'Cause I love the way you move me
I love the way you move me
I like most liquor but I don’t like gin
Don’t always like the skin I’m in
Where we’re gonna go I want to start again
But I love the way you move me, baby
I love the way you move me, babe
Oh ah, ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, just remember
I love the way you love me
And I love the way you move me
I’m not all there I’m a faithful sinner
I might get lost but I’ll be home for dinner
If God don’t like me he can hand me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move me
I pray to heaven to keep my place
Till I look to the mirror and saw the Devil’s face
And I’d be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk to me
I love the way you talk to me
Oh ah ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember
The way you move me
Not coming home till the good day’s gone
Working as hard as the day is long
Working men watch me when I get home
I love the way you talk, baby
I love the way you talk, baby
I love the way you move
Oh ah ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, oh remember
All the freaks are on parade
I thought I saw a Spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, oh remember
I love the way you love me, girl
I love the way you move
You and Me
Want to pack your bags something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone
Moon and the stars follow the car
Then we get to the ocean
Gonna take a boat to the end of the world
When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and I are not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
With eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky we're gonna ride the blue
All the way to the end of the world
When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly
Chorus
Its so small
Till we reach the end of the world
Lying In The Hands Of God
Baby I'll be your soldier
Gladly I'll do your bidding
For just a taste of what you're holding
For just a taste you could own me
Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
Here it comes dive right into me
Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you?
Cut the wings off a butterfly
Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
If you feel angels in your hair
Teardrops of joy run down your face
You will rise
Fill me up now drown me
Skin begins to grow back slowly
Faster until i'm choking
I really should call my mother
Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
If you feel angels in your hair
I am in love with nothing else
Teardrops of joy run off my face
I will rise for someone that's afraid to love
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you
Shake Me Like a Monkey
The things I like about you
The way you do what you do
The things i like about you
God n the devil alone could not have made you up
Two must have worked as one together
So good just want to eat you up
Let me like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing
Come on pretty babe make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine
Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
Forever i'm yours
I can't stop thinking about you
yeah yeah yeah
why would i want to
I like coffee with toast and jelly
But i'd rather be licking from your back to your belly
I think I'm going to
Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
Forever i'm yours
Cigarettes and coffee broken heart and being lonely little girls
And ponies are the things that go together
Yes and no you have to choose Romeo and Juliet to hang their noose
You and me would go together
Kiss Kiss make a wish
Hope that it comes true
But I ain't waiting for the world to change
Gonna change the world for you
Come on pretty baby make you lose your mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine
Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
Forever i'm yours
Come on everybody make me lose my mind
