Fever Lyrics - Middle Cyclone - Neko Case

In an open field at dusk 

To footfalls I awoke 

Marching ants across my temples, oh 

Their feet had no intention 

They followed some magnetic drum 

Prisoners of their destination 

From the slats of the factory come 

Where once they did make rails 

Old Death's peculiar songs 

He didn't know I was listening 

So he crowed out nice and long 

To the spiders and the lumber and the dust 

Of his conquests and his hunger, and his lust

I heard his feet rejoice 

I heard him tap his cane 

As if he had his own review 

Onstage at the Athenaeum 

I caught his words in my open mouth 

I gagged and choked and spit them out 

I heard him turn as he did hear 

My tiny heartbeat in his ear 

I was already running 

Oh I heard him coming 

Shrapnel spitting from his wheels 

His scything arms rake for my heels 

I dove and rolled and hid my face 

And I said these magic words 

My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home.

I said these magic words and 

Fell down, down, the anthill 

For days 

My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home. 

My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home
