Thea Gilmore - Fever Beats lyrics

Sat down with the poker face The snake eyes and your pillowcase The hands holding the triple ace Are laying down the cards She said it without sentiment Yeah, it's tragic, but it's true my friend You know it really makes no difference Your little bleeding heart I thought you would have got it all The Bible's painted on the bedroom wall And all you had to do was call For one final reprise The innocents will stop and stare The libertines play truth or dare You've been waiting out the summer there And loving by degrees And, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line I said, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the Yeah, these are our heroes now And fever beats on furrowed brows While all the fake the past allows Is turning into gold It's a sonnet on the news at ten The Lord's Prayer or a requiem It's Dylan, it is Bethlehem Recited on a game show And, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line I said, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line All down the line All down the line So, hey now, are you listening 'Cause the day is slowly closing in You're dust and you are heart and skin You're blood and you are vein And through the night, yeah, through it all In every word and every chord You're sure you've heard it all before And you'll hear it all again Hear it all again Hear it all again And, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line I said, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the And, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line I said, oh, take a little more time 'Cause fever beats all down the line All down the line All down the line All down the line
