Fever Beats Lyrics - Rules For Jokers - Thea Gilmore

Sat down with the poker face 

The snake eyes and your pillowcase 

The hands holding the triple ace 

Are laying down the cards 

She said it without sentiment 

Yeah, it's tragic, but it's true my friend 

You know it really makes no difference 

Your little bleeding heart 

I thought you would have got it all 

The Bible's painted on the bedroom wall 

And all you had to do was call 

For one final reprise 

The innocents will stop and stare 

The libertines play truth or dare 

You've been waiting out the summer there 

And loving by degrees 

And, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

I said, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the 

Yeah, these are our heroes now 

And fever beats on furrowed brows 

While all the fake the past allows 

Is turning into gold 

It's a sonnet on the news at ten 

The Lord's Prayer or a requiem 

It's Dylan, it is Bethlehem 

Recited on a game show 

And, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

I said, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

All down the line 

All down the line 

So, hey now, are you listening 

'Cause the day is slowly closing in 

You're dust and you are heart and skin 

You're blood and you are vein 

And through the night, yeah, through it all 

In every word and every chord 

You're sure you've heard it all before 

And you'll hear it all again 

Hear it all again 

Hear it all again 

And, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

I said, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the 

And, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

I said, oh, take a little more time 

'Cause fever beats all down the line 

All down the line 

All down the line 

All down the line
