Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusty compass in my hand, North Star gone astray
Guiding light on neon nights, klutzin' through the bayou's gray
Flickin' cigarette embers high, snake eyes dead ahead
Whispers of the cypress trees, secrets only me can read
In the thick of Louisiana twilight, when the cypress whisper low
A bluesy rhythm rustles leaves, a fever dream starts to grow
Bayou Fever Dream, shakin' through my bones
Bayou Fever Dream, where the cypress and neon roam
Steam rises slow in the pines
purple haze on the delta shore
The hum of a highway distant, urgency in every beat once more
Synth squelches high and bright, sub-bass thumps through the floor
Vocal chops rise, euphoric now, melodies exploding more
Porches creak with the weight of the night, shadows writhe and sway
Cigar smoke curls like a mist, whiskey glasses clink in neon hue
I count the secrets on my fingers, old man stories never die
A midnight symphony of laughter, late night tales of the heart's prize
Bayou Fever Dream, shakin' through my bones
Bayou Fever Dream, where the cypress and neon roam
Flickering neon signs reflect, a world of love and lost delight
The ghost of a Saturday night, where the music never quite dies
TB-303 squelches hard and-mean, synth bass trembles the ground
Vocal chops reach a fever pitch, as euphoria washes over this town
Deep inside a whiskey bottle, my stories, my sins, my songs
One day I'll set 'em spinning, on a midnight breeze so strong
Synth squelches on every note, sidechained compression tight
Vocal chops ignite the dancefloor, a euphoric, sonic flight
(Synth plods out, hi-hat ceases, fade out)
