Fever

Saturday night ended sadly

Beauty on its ass

Circling the crops

Another dropped pass

But she got nerve to burn

'cause everybody's brought her shame

Now it's her turn

So she lets the swarm squirm

She's been spread like a germ

And she's been turned

Like everybody

And now the hopelessness sets in

Knowing that somebody else will always win

And now the fever sets in

From knowing that

Somebody else will always win

Where does your revenge end?

Your future begin

From inside

Being alone haunts her badly

Hollow inside

It's about to break her back

Still along for the ride

'cause they keep dragging her down

Everybody wants what she's got

And it's a dirty town

So she lets the crew creep

While she drowns in the deep

Depths that consume her

And now the hopelessness sets in

Knowing that somebody else will always win

An eternity of lost Sundays

An infinite slide

The bed becomes a bank

To save the tears she has cried

Now she begins to lose count

Because nobody fills the hole

'though it's been filled in

And dug out

So she drains the last drop

But even the flood

Can't block the time

That runs past her

And now the hopelessness sets in

Knowing that somebody else will always win
