Yellow Fever Lyrics

Yellow Fever lyrics

[lyrics by ishmael lewis]



come one, come all

come one come all

chalk your eyes

blood for gall

blood for gall

this isn't the same world

your children are offerings

bow down

give thanks for their scant sufferings

chalk your eyes

the bigger the god so small the man

just this wooden horse remains



is this what you fought for?

is this what you fought for?

green order



this isn't the same world

this isn't the same world

she lies, sweet as the nurses veil

drink deep red ragged

this isn't your daughter 

chalk your eyes

the bigger the god so small the man

just this wooden horse remains



is this what you fought for?

is this what you fought for?

green order



you can blame the weatherman 

but it's pouring down inside

torn apart by goats wool

while the golden goose hangs high

you can blame the weatherman 

but it pours inside



green order green order

green order green order
