Fever Ray Fever Ray Lyrics
1.If I Had A Heart

this will never end cause i want more
more, give me more, give me more
this will never end cause i want more
more, give me more, give me more

if i had a heart i could love you
if i had a voice i would sing
after the night when i wake up
i'll see what tomorrow brings

if i had a voice i would sing

dangling feet from window frame
will i ever ever reach the floor?
more, give me more, give me more

crushed and filled with all i found
underneath and inside just to come around
more, give me more, give me more

if i had a voice i would sing


2.When I Grow Up

when i grow up
i want to be a forester
run through the moss on high heels
that's what i'll do
throwing out boomerang
waiting for it to come back to me

when i grow up
i want to live near the sea
crab claws and bottles of rum
that's what i'll have
staring at the seashell
waiting for it to embrace me

i put my soul in what i do
last night i drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
it goes way bad
i never liked a sad look
from someone who wants to be loved by you

i'm very good with plants
when my friends are away
they let me keep the soil moist
on the seventh day i rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet and cry for you

you've got cucumbers on your eyes
too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
the face in the ceiling
and arms too long
i wait for him to catch me

waiting for you to embrace me


3.Dry And Dusty

never leave me
walk close beside me
your hand my hand
fits so easy

no tomorrow
let us stop here
we did some great things
or didn't we

dry and dusty
i am a capsule of energy
you speak softly
we are capsules of energy

the world as i've been told
it would turn i get money
the world as i've been told
and i long for every moment

dry and dusty
i am a capsule of energy
you speak softly
we are capsules of energy


4.Seven

i've got a friend
who i've known since i was seven
we used to talk on that phone
if we have time
if it's the right time

accompany me
by the kitchen sink
we talk about love
we talk about dishwater tablets
and we dream about heaven

i know it
i think i know it from a heaven
they said so
it doesn't need no explanation
or a box to open up with light and sound
making you cold
very cold

i leave home
at seven
under a heavy sky
i ride my bike up
i ride my bike down
november smoke
and your toes cold now
it goes from white to red
a little voice in my head said so

i know it
i think i know it from a heaven
they said so
it doesn't need no explanation
or a box to open up with light and sound
and if you don't
you'll run your own

i know it
i think i know it from a heaven
they said so
it doesn't need no explanation
or a box to open up with light and sound
making you cold
very cold


5.Triangle Walks

an apple and a berry plant
comes with a house
on the grass
who is that
to come by my house

stands outside my window
sucking on the berries and
eats us out of house and home
keeping us awake
keeping us awake

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect

five AM
out again
triangle walks
magpies, i throw sticks at them
they laugh behind my back

getting a feeling
maybe i will dream again
having that feeling
when there's no one awake
no no one awake

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect

can i come over, i need to rest
lay down for a while
disconnect
the night was so long
the day even longer
lay down for a while
recollect


6.Concrete Walls

i live between concrete walls
when i took her up she was so warm
i live between concrete walls
in my arms she was so warm

eyes are open the mouth cries
haven't slept since summer
eyes are open the mouth cries
haven't slept since summer

i live between concrete walls
when i took her up she was so warm
i live between concrete walls
in my arms she was so warm

oh how i try
i leave the tv on and the radio
oh how i try
i leave the tv on and the radio

i live between concrete walls
when i took her up she was so warm
i live between concrete walls
in my arms she was so warm


7.Now's The Only Time I Know

dark brown hair
and eyelash
reappear
in a flash
now's the only
time i know

early morning's
greatest deed
what's forsaken
i do not need
there is water
there is snow

settling down
door and room
keep it tidy
keep it like home
now's the only
time i know

come here sparrow
watch my hand
black and blue seeds
that's what my hand can
now's the only
time i know

do my hair
and paint eyelash
reappear
in a flash
there is more
i'd like to know

nine-fifteen
then i'm done
quiet front seat
and drive around
through the water
through the snow


8.I'm Not Done

so i lost my head a while ago
but you seemed to know better
we set fire in the snow
it ain't over
i'm not done

some do magic
and some do harm
i'm holding on
holding on
i'm holding on to a straw

who is the Alpha?
and what is made of cloth?
how do you say you're sorry
and there's nothing to be afraid of

is it dark or rainy?
how light is sunlight?
do you laugh while screaming?
is it cold outside?

one thing i know for certain
oh i'm pretty sure
it ain't over
i'm not done

who is the Alpha?
how do you say you're sorry
and there's nothing to be afraid of

pretty sure
it ain't over
i'm not done


9.Keep The Streets Empty For Me

memory come when memory's old
i am never the first to know
following this stream up north
where do people like us float?

there is room in my lap
for bruises, asses, handclaps
i will never disappear
for forever, i'll be here

whispering
morning keep the streets empty for me
morning keep the streets empty for me

i'm laying down, eating snow
my fur is hot, my tongue is cold
on a bed of spider web
i think of how to change myself

a lot of hope in one man tent
there's no room for innocence
so take me home before the storm
velvet mites will keep us warm

whispering
morning keep the streets empty for me
morning keep the streets empty for me

whispering
morning keep the streets empty for me
morning keep the streets empty for me

uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born


10.Coconut

he came back one day and
told me stories that I
now dream of

open atmosphere
take me anywhere
take me there

we have water mouth
sand in pockets and a strained household

when the night falls
there is fire in the bungalow

lay back with a big cigar
lay back we are where we are
lay back with a big cigar
lay back this is where we are
