Fever Dream Girl

verse 1 Was she a trainwreck, was she a last drag? Was she the little peace of mind you thought you once had? Was she the cure-all or just the disease? Was she the ransacked girl in big denim jeans? Maybe the money spent, maybe the bad nights, Maybe the deep wound left behind a spider bite, Maybe the head hung inside a toilet seat, Maybe the vampire searching for someone to bleed. Bridge Hey, it's whatever she wants to be. Hey, that's whatever she's gonna be Out there roaming the night, Yes, I'm the only boy she won't fight. verse 2 Was she the wedding dress drenched all in gasoline? Was she the new-age jezebel dog treat? Was she the warhead or the firecracker? Was she death itself or whatever comes after? Maybe a sucker punch, maybe the common threat, Maybe the gray teeth pulling on a cigarette, Maybe the absolute, maybe the in-between, Maybe a fortune teller with no one there to read. Bridge And she waits and she knows herself too well, She stares at her hands but still can't tell When good luck comes around She packs up all her cards and jumps town. verse 3 Was she the trophy wife, was she the wanderer? Was she the only spell in life that you've been under? Was she the broken string or the whole symphony? Maybe the upright, perfectly out of key, Maybe a tar pit filled up with ancient bone, Maybe the footsteps you hear when you're home alone, Maybe the prize bird losing its feathers, Maybe the glue that just won't hold your shit together. Guitar solo Outro Was she the blood moon that means disaster? Maybe she's nothing close to what you think you're after. When all at once, man, you wake and come to You know exactly what it is that she was to you.
