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
