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
