lyrics

The Fever Age:

Verse 1

I am the self-fulfilling prophecy
That you hold in too tight
Cause everybody’s got something that’s waiting to be seen
Is it drawn to the light?
Is it drawn to the light...

Verse 2

Out where the Ambien Animatronics
All come out to march
Is where we play circle-the-drain
Or an existence that’s pencilled in ash
To me it’s all the same
To me it’s all the same . . .

Interlude

Charlie hears the angels sing
He cuts his teeth in marketing
It’s all for sale
Yes it’s all for sale
It’s all for sale
Yes it’s all for sale

The runners will stay in shape
The legless one will just shake their chains
Again

Interlude

Bitter Alice lives her life
With a heart on hold
She won’t be bought or sold
Cause she ain’t getting old
She won’t be bought or sold
Cause we ain’t growing old

She’s in love with steel kisses, silver tongues,
And promises of hearts of gold

Refrain

Are you worn out?
Cut down to size?
Having fun now?
The Fever Age clings to the alive

Bridge

The Radiating Woman soon finds herself
Falling into a sort of hedonistic bliss
Fed only on malnutritioned lullabies of yesterday
She holds on to this wildfire
This flame she held was an immediate sensation
One both novel and pure
“No more burden to burn” she told herself
"No more burden to burn”
This was a pride that refused to be burnt down to the floor
A hole was made but an ember empire soon surfased

Pick and scrape
The sickly shapes
Til the dusted teardrops
They all melted away

Take me home
That’s where I want to stay
That’s where I should be can you take me there
Please take me home

Verse 3

Your next great escape is hiding from you
Out in the Great Plains
A pained paradise stands still
So find a bulletproof vest
That you can call your own
I’ll wait for you
If you’ll wait for me in the Fever Age

Outro

please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
please take me home
