Lake Fever Lyrics

We can take a bit of a breather
We can skip to the practical part
We can skip to the time of neither
When we're together, even when we're apart
I'll tell you a story about the lake fever
Or we can skip to the coital fury
You didn't say yes or no neither
You whispered hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

We can take it a little bit further
We can stick to the after effects part
Not trying to make you a believer
Don't want a little piece of your heart
Just telling you a story about the lake fever
Or we can skip to the neutral fury
You didn't say yes or no neither
You whispered hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry


Want to be a nobody without peer
Want to be a thought that's never done
Want to shake your faith in human nature
Want to break the hearts of everyone
Want to be your wheezing screen door
Want to be your stars of Algonquin
Want to be your roaring floorboard
Want to break the hearts of everyone
And cause discontent
Until they cease in their investigation
To bring back the day's events
Good citizens and time well spent
Till we're talking in whispers again

You whispered hurry
Until we're talking in whispers again
You whispered hurry
Until we're talking in whispers again
You whispered hurry
Until we're talking in whispers again
You whispered hurry
Until we're talking in whispers again
