Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching Lyrics






He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars end up on the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Lights down, you up and die

    Dave Matthews band amazing band I was four years when this came out

  16. S.... C....

    This song brings back such awesome memories for me! This was one of the first CDs' my older brother bought and played for me, along with What's the Story Morning Glory (Oasis). I was hooked on both bands immediately, but it was my love of DMB that opened up so many musical doors to worlds I never knew existed before. Sounds corny I know, but I can't thank the guys enough for the community of fans they've created and enduring joy they've brought into so many lives.

  17. A.... Y....

  39. R.... ....

    This might be the worst song I’ve ever heard... shit this is terrible!

  40. C.... Y....

    You being mature is limited to your music? Really...

  41. C.... Y....

    Honestly, for these people to be professionals and given contracts to cover and influence the people with their art or entertainment, and they be as childish as they are falls back on those who enlisted them. This shit is terrible.

  42. C.... F....

    This song has so much more meaning to me now than when it first came out. Im no longer really young, free, single, carefree, and childless. Now im one of the marching ants...:(

  43. R.... V....

  89. y.... ....

    I miss my unbuttoned flannel shirts with exposed undershirt, slightly baggy jeans, and combo rope/bead necklace. The early aughts were a blur, but the 90s have now become nostalgic. It's nice.

  90. S.... ....

    I remember buying Under the Table and Dreaming back in 1994, it was so fresh and completely different than anything else I ever heard, every time I listen to it, it takes me back to that time in my life, the 90's were a great time to be young and alive

  91. z.... ....
