Fever
Blind Freddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She cried where’ve you been tonight
I said Do you wanna start a fight
Is war what you’re waiting for?
The room is cold, your hands are sore
Love ‘s missunderstood all day
I had a vision, nothing more to say
It’s not you!
This was what you’re Girlfriend said:

Try so much, oh life’s too short
Why not take a chance, Come and dance with me
Please take me to the place it started
Why not take a chance, Come and dance with me

Now you know it’s up to you
If you want some kind of clue
The Moon is gone, no birds don’t sing
You always end where I begin
The snow’s completely covered you
But can you feel the heat, can you feel it now?
It’s not you!





Oho, Oh.....
