the fever broke that summer
when all of the basements went cold
but there's still a box of clothes that you brought me
when i lost all of my own.
we broke into my house on your last night in town
and we kicked a big whole in the wall
and we found a stash that belonged to my dad
must've been a couple years old
and you know that i'm hungry
but i don't want to leave
i want to fall asleep hungry
i want to want in my dreams
and that was one hell of a bender
you could say we had a pretty good run
between pinpricks and saucers if no one's the wiser
i guess we had the going for us
and so i left that hall back to my own four walls
they sway and they swell like a tide
and i said fuck it, man, threw some ash in the can
remnants of some long burning fire
so it's true i'm still hungry
but i've got things to do
so if i sleep thru the morning
i've got all afternoon
i've got all afternoon
i've got all afternoon
the fever broke that summer
when all of the basements went cold
but there's still a box full of things that you brought me
