The Fever Returns

One chapter made of stone
a frozen page is hard to hone
it turns as I write it
Ten fingers blue and cold
wrap around something hard to hold
it burns and I like it
So what's the score
you've almost stopped caring anymore so...
When the fever returns
stray from the marsh there's so much to learn
Once I prayed for warmth and now I let it rage
Let it burn through the day
When that fever returns
So now you're on your own
broke free from a comfort zone
was it really that good
or were you just hiding
Seeing things you ain't seen before
walk right through an open door
you get so excited
Finger on the pulse
you're still alive so keep on driving
When the fever returns
stray from the marsh there's so much to learn
Once I prayed for warmth and now I let it rage
Let it burn through the day
When that fever returns
It burns and I like it (x 2)
Some days I crave the heat
It's not all 'bout mercury rising
When the fever returns
stray from the marsh there's so much to learn
Once I prayed for warmth and now I let it rage
Let it burn through the day
(x2)

Heaven

You drew me in
Like a moth to a flame
Took my hand led the way
Said we're livin in the Southeast, Baby
You'll learn to love
You'll learn that love is salty
Heaven knows in the winter we pray
Pray for snow
Come and wash our dirty sins away
And you'll learn to love
Those dirty sins when all we get is freezing rain
And now I'm here
Looks like I'll stay
Wisteria wrapped round my veins
Heaven is a wild place (x 4)
You'll learn to love
You'll learn that love is salty
Invade my heart
Make me stay
Wisteria wrapped round my veins
And as wild as it sounds
I can honestly say
I found Heaven in the Southeast, Baby
Heaven is a wild place (x4)

On the Run Again
02:57

On the run again
moving like a shadow
On the run again
I've found running is my friend
Follow to no end
Running gets me where I want to go
Your words put me on trial
put me on trial
asking too many questions
Your words put me on trial
I can't get away from you nearly fast enough
on the run again
Your words put me on trial
put me on trial
asking too many questions
Your words put me on trial
I can't get away from you nearly fast enough
But this time it's hard
I was awfully charmed
and I nearly caved and gave you my heart
but it seems you can't help but analyze my character
So look in the mirror
I'm on the run again
Your words put me on trial
put me on trial
asking too many questions
Your words put me on trial
I can't get away from you nearly fast enough
But I might return
If I've got time to burn
and I wanna see if you have learned
But if you still can't help but analyze my character
Look in the mirror
I'll be on the run again

Firestar

It's 2am and I'm feeling bold
Staying warm in a faux mink stole
In New York we walk the streets
Stand over the vents and feel the city heart beating
Hat pulled down mink stole pulled tight
I'm not tired at all I wanna stay up all night
Stay with me
The Firestar never sleeps
I wanna watch the sun rise
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall asleep tonight
It's 4am and I'm feeling old
I wanna rest my head on this faux mink stole
In New York there's a place to lean
I'm gonna lean right here you get the coffee and cream
and one sugar
When I get my second wind
I'm gonna thank you for sticking with me my friend
You're like a dream
The Firestar never sleeps
I wanna watch the sun rise
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall asleep tonight
It's 6am or so I'm told
I'm gonna rest my eyes just for a second...
The Firestar never sleeps
She's a constant sunrise
If you should fall
Let yourself fall asleep
Like a baby beneath the sunrise

Southern Gothic Dream
03:47
|

Snow on the mountain
snow on my heart
cold been creepin in
since we're apart
I float over landscapes
I see you living life
You're living your best life
and it cuts me like a knife
I know I should empower
Should try to get along
but I head for the darkness
Like some southern gothic song
I'm not a witch who's wicked
and you're surely no Snow White
but I long to see your blood spill
On the mountain this very night
Perhaps you start to wonder
What fills me with such strife
or anger or excitement
To take another's life
Like the little girl from Knoxville
you've done nothing wrong
but you're happy and I'm hopeless
so I'll kill you in a song
I'll kick you cross the mountain
Your teeth come flying out
I'll kick you til you're senseless
Gone beyond a doubt
your blood on the blanket
is a cherry on my dream
Oh I'm feeling so much better
just imagine this bloody scene

Strawberry Moon
04:27

|
I was hunted beneath
the Strawberry Moon
All told, my sole purpose
was finding a place
Finding a place where we could stay wild
Bloodthirsty and weak
with the world at our feet
shouldn't we make a run for it
run for it
Under the strawberry moon
We played our games
But now you've got a taste
so what's real what's fake
I can't tell I can't tell
I can't read your eyes anymore
Shouldn't I make a run for it
run for it
Under the strawberry moon
We played our games
Under the strawberry moon
You got a taste
Under the strawberry moon
We play our games
Under the strawberry moon

All Night Glamour

I wander the streets at night
Looking for trouble to get into
The wallpapered hallways with flickering lights
doors that open and promise delights
What do I know of that
What do I know of delights
Your wingspan is massive
Your moonlight attractive
I'm falling for intrigue and danger
The moon
The moon will hold ya captive
If you let it
The man in the moon's like a vampire
Let him glamour you
All Night (x4)
I ponder the beat of a thousand year heart
Does it beat for me. and did it ever stop
Your lip stain it beckons and pulls like a kite
Moon starts to spin like a disco light
*Champagne Halston Smoke and Sequins*
Dance with a nuance of intrigue and danger
The moon
The moon will hold ya captive
if you let it
The man in the moon's like a vampire
Let him glamour you
All night (x4)
*Champagne Halston Smoke and Sequins* (x3)
I wander the streets at night
Looking for trouble to get into
I found you...I found you
The moon
The moon will hold ya captive
if you let it
The man in the moon's like a vampire
Let him glamour you
All night (x4)

Hello stranger
I've known you for a long long time
Hello danger
always waiting there in the back of my mind
So I light the fire and
Tonight we'll forget it all cause
She's just a baby witch
she's just a baby
Hello blood
I've known you for a long long time
Hello eyes
I've known you for a long long time
Hello arms
I've known you for a long long time
Hello legs
I've known you for a long long time
Goodbye fear
Hiding out in my mind
I'm tired of you
We are through
So I light the fire and
Tonight we'll forget it all cause
She's just a baby witch
she's just a baby
Goodbye fear
You can try
But you won't find me anymore
rising like smoke to the sky
and disappear
into thin air
