Fever

In a downtown bar starin' at the TV
Sittin' here all alone
Sometimes it seems like a thousand years
Since I've heard your voice even on the phone
The chili peppers howl full of love and rage
Under a bridge they found
I got a long tradition of missing that bus
I could use a bridge when I get down

I got the fever
Baby yeah I got that fever
I got the fever
Baby, baby, baby I got that fever

I look for magic in the air,
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Any day now you'll come back and you'll smile and throw your arms around me
Hope and inspiration aren't enough to keep me sane

I wait for the touch of your hand, and I will go up in flames
I've been up and down through the cities and towns
Been trusted and betrayed
I've felt the sun come up on me
And I've seen it sink and fade
And I will lay down in this bed
I hardly knew I made
Do it all for a bit of your love,
It seems like a pretty good trade
