Over the Rhine My Love Is A Fever Lyrics

my love is a fever
my love is a fable
my love is jazz licks
improvised by toddlers
bold Ulysses by nursery rhyme
and firelight
my love is a metamorphosis
reason
cold logic intuitively speaking
my love is syncopated
spoon-fed
ignorant
well-read
my love is singular
my love is commonplace
as a gravedigger's own
birthplace
my love is a medicine
feeds the sick
heals the poor
turns up the volume
on the blind
my word it's a trip
like a migraine
on a moving train
it parachutes
aeroplanes
watch it fly
eyes soar
hands clap
ears ring
it's a sand trap
hair raising
amazing grey city
transformations
as lips sink
stomachs ache
monkeys shine
fire flies
foxes trot
hobs k___
porches swing
brains storm
hearts attack and air supplies
heads light
tails spin
steeples chase you
along your chin
rock slides
out of the woods now
a virgin in bucksin moccasins
tall thin
she plays your mandolin
so maudlin you begin to spin
out of the woods now
