Chest Fever

(album: Friends & Family - 2023)

I know she's a tracker
Any style that would back her
They say she's a chooser
But I just can't refuse her

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

She's been down in the dunes
And she's dealt with the goons
Now she drinks from a bitter cup
I'm trying to get her to give it up

She was just here, I fear she can't be there no more

And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves
She receives

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

"She's stoned," said the Swede
And the moon calf agreed
I'm like a viper in shock
With my eyes on the clock

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
