Dave Matthews Band - Bismarck Lyrics
Little queen she took her leave
Told her daddy he would never see her again
This time let's not make believe I'm going
The young prince he was quite convinced
His mother's god was not like his
Old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
Lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It's strange to feel so alive
I'm not stoned I'm hypnotized
Yeah there's something in my veins
Hold on hold on
They talked all day till after dark
If the windy city don't turn a clock
On and on they ended up in Bismarck
Sleeping in the doorway there the prince and queen they didn't care
They had each other that was more than they could dream of
The old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
He was a lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It's strange to feel so alive
I'm not stoned I'm hypnotized
Now there's something in my bones
Cause I won't ever be alone again
Hold on hold on
The prince and queen they sang their song
The police man told them move along
Truck stop, shower, candy bar - they're rolling
The old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
But the lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It's strange to feel so alive
I'm not stoned I'm hypnotized
Oh there's something in my veins
And I can't ever be the same again
It's strange to feel so alive
I'm not stoned I'm hypnotized
Oh there's something in your eyes
I won't ever see the same again
It's strange to feel so alive
I'm not stoned I'm hypnotized
There's something in your eyes
And I can't ever be the same again
Hold on hold on

Dave Matthews Band Bismarck Comments
LoVE when Dave messes up his own lyrics. Can't wait for the studio drop. Another masterpiece. Thanks DMB, JS, MS and VidPeeps!
I doubt this gets to see an album. Easily my favorite new song of summer 16 tho
They really should have put this tune on the album!! So good!
My favorite new one in years
Bismarck needs to come back
I can't believe this song missed the Album cut. One of his best
It´s unbelievable how this one didn´t make it to come tomorrow.
next album;)
This really should have been on new album!
Totally agree!!
It's a masterpiece
why wasn't this song on the album!!!!!?????
surely too happy for that album. Seems like dave has been trying to write "heal the world" again and again during the last years.
I dig it, but still. It's still a few songs I would have liked to hear on it. Of well, there' s live trax.
It was obvious that they could not make a better version than the live one for Smooth Rider, that thing they tried to do is so artificial. Is like they didn´t know how to finish the song.
Whym'st the FUCK is this not on the new album
This still makes me smile so fully. Thanks Chester as always for contributing to my happiness
Why on God's green earth is this song not on the new album? I love it!
DoctorGonzo41 right!!
Is this really not on the new album of 14 songs? I am hoping this is bkbkdmdk ... but I think that is Roi based.
This song is really pure joy. 12/4/98 WH member.
If Bob Law = Again and Again, then I REALLY hope that Bismarck = She. 🤞
Chance Davis please!!!
Batson confirmed Bismarck didn't make the album
Dfisher000 why!?!? This song is fantastic!!
Carter's drumming kills me in this one. Just nonstop driving. The man is not of this world!
They are an all star team... sadly, roi passing made it happen. Its just bad ass.
Great!!
love it! this and plastic girl need to be on an album- i can hear it now......
Such a pleasure to have been at this show, this song was the highlight for me.
Love Love Love this new song!
I need to download this song yesterday!!!!! Great stuff..
So I hope it's safe to assume that this song, Samurai Cop, and Bob Law will end up on a new studio album in the near future.
chorus reminds me of spaceman
nothing going but awesomeness from all who put into this. we Dave fans are blessed
instant classic!
Took a drink from the "Lyricy" Fountain and your cup runneth over with the tongues of the Angels on High. Hope to see you in philly... I pray, Marie Romanov, T
I really really really really really like this song.
The one person so far who's disliked this has surely misplaced their hearing aide and heart.
Haha! Love this song!
my favorite of the new songs
The new songs remind me kinda of Big Whiskey, which makes sense cause Rob Cavallo is back
Eh, Carter saves this a little at the 4 minute mark. But other than that, this song is gay. Sounds like a little kid song. Where is the rockin DMB that I love?
+N Bee this is the band that grew fame off lines like, "Mom its my birthday." Your memory is gold tinted.
Not sure I understand your comment...
Little queen she took her leave
Told her daddy he would never see her again
This time let’s not make believe I’m going
The young prince he was quite convinced
His mother’s god was not like his
So his god forgives so he forgave her as he was leaving
The old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
Lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Yeah theres something in my veins
And I won’t ever be the same again
Hold on hold on
They talked all day till after dark
Left the windy city 'round 10 o'clock
On and on they ended up in Bismarck
Sleeping in the doorway there the prince and queen they didn’t care
They had each other that was more than they could dream of
The old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
He was a lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Now theres something in my bones
Cause I won’t ever be alone again
Hold on hold on
The prince and queen they sang their song
The police man told them move along
Truck stop, shower, candy bar - they’re rolling
The old bus station 5am as people going everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
But the lonely prince until the queen came
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothing would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Oh theres something in my veins
And I can’t ever be the same again
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Oh theres something in your eyes
I won’t ever see the same again
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Theres something in your eyes
And I can’t ever be the same again
Hold on hold on
As in, they hit Chicago at 10pm and kept going until Bismarck, ND.
Pretty sure its "Left the windy city about 10 o'clock. On and on they ended up in Bismarck" Tonight at the Oakland show, Dave said he got the inspiration for the song from looking at a train schedule that showed a train from Chicago to Bismarck.
Also, to me it sounds like "old bus station," not "open station." But that's just me.
Brian Meise thanks for sharing the lyrics:))
Updated both suggestions – Thanks!
great song!! sounds like a "dave" song.
It's been a long time since dmb debuted a song and after only 2 listens I know its amazing. I haven't had chills like this since The Lillywhite Sessions. Very excited for what else is coming!
+DoctorGonzo41 hasn't been that long they played 2 new songs during last summer's tour
+Brittany Brown It's been a long time since dmb debuted a song and after only 2 listens I know its amazing. I know they've played other new songs but Bismarck is the only one that I heard and immediately thought Wow.
got you and i agree they played be yourself when i was at alpine last year and it was good but not as good as bismarck or samurai cop
At the Dallas show, I said this is one of those songs that no one knows, but in future, everyone will be singing...then Dave said, "one day...this song will be old". Same thing.
Dave's still got it. #StorytellingMachine
Excited about watching this song evolve!! Thanks CCP!
Chestercopperpot5 your videos are excellent!!! Are you going to post Dave's other new song Bobs law?
(VERSE 1)
Little queen she took her leave
Told her daddy he would never see her again
This time’s not make believe I’m goin’
The young prince he was quite convinced
His mother’s god was not like his
Cuz his god forgives so he forgave her as he was leavin’
(CHORUS)
Old bus station 5 am there’s people goin’ everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
Lonely prince still the queen came in
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothin would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Yea there’s something in my veins
And I won’t ever be the same- again
Hold on, hold on
(VERSE 2)
They talked all day till after dark
If The witness(?) say round 10 oclock
On and on they ended up in Bismarck
Sleeping in love(?) all way there
The prince and queen they didn’t care
They had each other that was more than they could dream of
(CHORUS)
Old bus station 5 am there’s people goin everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
Lonely prince still the queen came in
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothin would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Now there’s something in my bones
And I won’t ever be alone- again
Hold on, hold on
(VERSE 3)
The prince and queen they sang this song
Policeman told them move along
Truck stop shower, candy bar they’re rollin
(CHORUS X 3)
Old bus station 5 am there’s people goin’ everywhere
Some come home some stay away no matter
But the Lonely prince still the queen came in
He looked at her she looked at him
Nothin would ever be the same not ever
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Oh there’s something in my veins
And I wont ever be the same- again
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Oh there’s something in your eyes
And I wont ever see the same- again
It’s strange to feel so light
I’m not stoned I’m hypnotized
Oh there’s something in your eyes
And I cant ever be the same- again
Hold on, hold on
[let me know if you have better idea at 1:56 or 2:02~ hard to make out hose lines- hope this helps!]
+Reezy F austiN - sounded like: "Sleeping in the doorway there". I am not sure about the first. It does sound like 'witness' but not sure...
Windy City? (Chicago)
Thanks for puttin' these lyrics down.
Yeah, I think "If The witness(?) say round 10 oclock" is "Left the Windy City 'round 10 o'clock" from what I hear on other versions.
The quality of this video is absolutely stunning. Fantastic work CCP!
Of course, because it's CHESTER.
incredible .. would be amazing to hear this live again when they swing by my locale
song seems pretty cool but I'm incredibly impressed with this quality. it's better than some of their channel videos, haha.
This song has a lot of potential to be a sweet jam similar to that of Warehouse! Hoping to catch these new songs at Hartford!
CC5... well done sir and much appreciation.
And yup, this could be a grower. Has all of the elements.
+Bill Parmwell Its got some PNP in it...and a dash of the Police... Voices inside my head. Excellent tune.
Thank you! Been waiting for this. I love chorus of the song and the lyrics. I wish Carter played a little less at times primarily during the sax solo.
This is great. Thank you for the amazing video.
sweet chorus
Instant classic. I adore it.
Nice work!
+kevin reiss Good Video Kevin!!
Amazing quality! Thank you.
Awesome quality! thanks!
The chorus is brilliant!
Thanks as always, you rock
My favorite of the two new song debuts so far!
+Andrew well I've got good news for you then, there's three!
+Sean Balogh what's the name of the third I CANNOT find it and I'm digging the other two...
+Allison Newton Bismark, Bob Law, and Samurai Cop.
+Sean Balogh bob law is the one I was missing....thanks! Can't wait for the next couple of nights!!!
