Fever dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you

Beneath your skin
And your games
You're alone

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do
When a fire, and a fever rages

And I have caught it too?
So who's to blame?

Fever dreams
They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks
They can only haunt you

I've had enough of those moves
I've had enough of those moves
You get everything with
I've lost all I can lose
To your skill and your games

But you're so contagious, so contagious

Fever dreams
Can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you
'Til the fever breaks

They can only haunt you

But you're so contagious
Tell me, what am I to do
When a fire and a fever rages
And I have caught it too?
So who's blame
For who gets burned
For holding you?

    it's like she's the virus; contagious, aching and invading his thoughts and dreams...and the fever is the constant thinking about her and nagging memories. and he knows it'll be over when he just moves on..and the fever breaks. which makes it okay.

    ...but she's so contagious! ( ;

    Your past will haunt you until you do something or come to enough of a realization to dissipate the bad memories.

    I think this song is about a golddigger so to speak, she takes everything from him with her charm and good looks, but then he figures it out, breaks up with her, and but can't get her out of his head.

    I think this is the worst song on the album. It's too 'quick and simple' for dashboard's style (and for my liking)

    one of my faves from the album... sounds cool! unique! it's understandable.. from the title itself, it's all about FEVER DREAMS!

    I bet the people who originally thought the song was too simplistic enjoy it now. It's simple, but catchy. FEVER DREAMS.

    in my opinion, the song isn't really about love. but i can tell you for sure that the fever is a metaphor, but of what i can't tell you.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
