Talking To Myself
February 14th, 2005

Dave Matthews Talks to Himself"My nose is saying 'please stop smoking. Please. The ads are right, you will die.' And i know its true, because cigarettes--that's some stupid shit. God. But I get two beers into an evening and then man I'm nineteen twenties poet boy and dumbass.

Night guy just tries to kill day guy. And day guy wakes up and says, I'm never ever going to smoke a cigarette again. And then night guy says, 'Well fuck you.'

Night time guy wears royal blue and throws caution to the wind.

Daytime guy just spends the day trying to build himself again. You know?

And then night time guy comes. But I kind of look forward to night time guy, I don't ever look forward to morning guy. So that's a bad part of it.

'You have no one to blame but yourself!' No shit Sherlock.

I have these conversations in the bathtub with myself. I don't know about y'all, but I talk to myself so much. If anyone else catches me--I'm always lucky because its someone in my family or someone in the band. Then its ok, because even then they're like 'ok, if he's real crazy, what can we do?'

But if the wrong people catch me-- I always hope that the people in the hotel think I'm on the phone. I'll get up and have arguments with politicians. I'll be on a tv show with an audience of thirty, people in studio. But its all in the bathtub, telling what I think, Slapping the water. 'Goddamnit.'

One time I got busted in the car. I was driving my old Plymoth Reliant a few years ago, made me more careful. I was going on and on I was real pissed about something I was telling the person that I was pissed at exactly what I thought. And Stephan sat up in the back and says, 'Are you talking to yourself?' 'No.'

And my cousin caught me once too. I got this problem, I have five cousins. They are so fine, man. And they're all my cousins. And your eyes don't lie to ya. I mean they all fine. I just tell them not to hang out with night guy. Hang out with day guy.

One time my cousin Marian went off to Italy for a while to become a model and when she came back she thought it was stupid. But she, is just so fine. But she's also just a great woman. She was coming over to hang out at my house and I was up in the bathtub. I can't remember who i was shitting on, i was shitting on somebody--screaming and going on.

And she just came in and then I looked up and she was just standing in the doorway looking at me. And I didn't know she was there, then you can't pretend you were on a cellphone. And she was just so nice about it too, 'David, who are you talking to?' 'I'm not talking.'
