Chest Fever (remixed 2018) Songtext
von The Band

I know she′s a tracker
Any scarlet would back her
They say she's a chooser
But I just can′t refuse her

She was just there, but then she can't be here no more
And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives

She's been down in the dunes
And she′s dealt with the goons
Now she drinks from the bitter cup
I′m tryin' to get her to give it up


She was just here, I fear she can′t be here no more
And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives

It's long, long when she′s gone
I get weary holding on
Now I'm coldly fading fast
I don′t think I'm gonna last very much longer

"She's stoned", said the Swede
And the moon calf agreed
But I′m like a viper in shock
With my eyes in the clock

She was just there somewhere and here I am again
And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives
