Chest Fever Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know she's a tracker
Any scarlet would back her
And they say she's a chooser, ooh
But I just can't refuse her
[Chorus]
She was just there, but then
She can't be here no more
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
[Verse 2]
She's been down in the dunes
And she's dealt with the goons
Now she drinks from the bitter cup
I'm trying to get her to give it up
[Chorus]
She was just here, I fear
She can't be here no more
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
[Bridge]
It's long, long when she's gone
I get weary holding on
Now I'm coldly fading fast
I don't think I'm gonna last
Very much longer
[Verse 3]
"She's stoned," said the Swede
And the moon calf agreed
But I'm like a viper in shock
With my eyes in the clock
[Chorus]
She was just there, somewhere
And here I am again
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives
