Fever - Maps & Atlases

When the fever passes at the bottom of the cotton

In the background in the background of the flood

Dry among the

Dry among the wet and the rotten

When the fever passes next to the brimming well

The worst is more than over and anyone can tell

When the fever passes and we’re all back in our nests

We’ll be extravagant hosts instead of imposing guests

And all that you know of this is what you have heard

I’m not sure even the best of us

I’m not sure even the best of us And all that you know of this is what you have heard

I’m not sure even the best of us

I’m not sure even the best of us Can care all the time

When the fever passes when we don’t know what to do We’ll buy twice as many comforts just like we used to do When the fever passes, oh when the fever clears

Oh, we’ll look back on these quietly like they’re someone else’s years

When the fever passes at the bottom of the cotton

In the background in the background of the flood

Dry among the

Dry among the wet and the rotten

When the fever passes next to the brimming well

The worst is more than over and anyone can tell

When the fever passes and we’re all back in our nests

Oh, we’ll be extravagant hosts instead of imposing guests

And all that you know of this is what you have heard

I’m not sure even the best of us

I’m not sure even the best of us And all that you know of this is what you have heard

I’m not sure even the best of us

I’m not sure even the best of us Can care all the time
