Fever Song

Beets, beans, and barley

Run through me

Seamless dreams and stories

Run through me

And when I open my mouth, something’s gonna come out

Something’s gonna come in again

I took a towel to wipe my sweat

I took a fancy to red flowers ‘hind my ears

But I left them on the bush

I’ll take a course to pass the time

I’ll take a job so things are mine

But I will never take the sky

And not ‘cause it’s too wide

Beets, beans, and barley

Run through me

Seamless dreams and stories

Run through me

And when I open my mouth, something’s gonna come out

Something’s gonna come in again

Well, I refused to take a pill

But I took kisses and felt well

And you should take my word until

I say no more

Well, I like to take my time

On the roof under the sun

Of September with a song

But I have to run

Beets, beans, and barley

Run through me

Seamless dreams and stories

Run through me

And when I open my mouth, something’s gonna come out

Something’s gonna come in again

Beets, beans, and barley

Run through me

Seamless dreams and stories

Run through me

With the beets and the beans and barley

I wrote this song on the roof of Katie's house. I had to run to the first class of a course I never went back to. It was so beautiful & sunny on the roof.
