Break My Fever

I stumbled through this life alone
longer then I should have
breaking down the roads and crosses
torching everything I could have
like a child but when you smiled and you made it all worth while
leading me from the dark
like a horseshoe kicking up sparks

Your hand were hard and ready
to hold a heart that’s heavy
to get under the hours
Cause I’m a snake hidden in the flowers
leading on my better angels
cleaning stables, turning tables
breaking me in like jeans
playing out like a movie scene

then we find ourselves dancing in the kitchen in the refrigerator light
drinking cheap wine fading into the night
your like Chanel, I’m more like turpentine
come and break my fever tonight
you’re prolific happiness
I’m a hot head pessimist
I think the world is overcrowded
you’ve never thought about it
sometimes we lay in bed
Play our lives out in our heads
Looking in that by and by
picking diamonds from the sky

then we find ourselves dancing in the kitchen in the refrigerator light
drinking cheap wine fading into the night
You’re like Monet, I’m a bad frank lloyd Wright
Come break my fever tonight
