Fever Dream

I wake up at the end of the day
The air is cold and the sky is grey
It's easy to oversleep when you're on your own
So I venture downtown to feed my sins
Try to figure out what it all means
Can't go on like this, I better take out a loan

I take her hand and dance in my fever dreams
Under the lights of the fever tree
I see her eyes, serpent like, diamonds in the night
Every night they find and shine on me

Lullaby lover, riding undercover
She's a mood elevator, never met another
I could listen to the sound of her voice endlessly
In my bed, drifting in and out of time
I'm turning in my sheets to face my wicked mind
Every night she calls me as I'm falling asleep
And she says

Take my hand, we'll dance in my fever dreams
Under the lights down at the fever tree
I see her eyes, serpent like, diamonds in the night
Every night they find and shine on me

(Gave it all
On a loan
Beautiful
On and on)

A ring of flowers about my head
My feet are bare and bleeding
I wish I were drunk
Romantic, a punk
But I'll dance and go on bleeding
'Coz my mind's a haze to remember the days
Before the dreaming

Take my hand, we'll dance in my fever dreams
Under the lights of the fever tree
I see her eyes, staring out, diamonds in the night
Every night they find and shine on me
Oh my fever dream
