These lyrics are pretty wrong, according to their official site it goes:
Strange like skin
That I believe in
It stretches over bone
And smells like honey on the wind
All so strange
I can't remember
Where the heartache ends
And the fever it begins
Scenes of Mary Magdalene
Who shakes her lover's bones
At all the demons in the window
All so strange
The dreams that haunt my bed
The heart-rate swells
And quickens near the end
And then slows down
It slows down
And I lay down
And I wont try to run
Strange like skin
That I believe in
It leaks out of the phone
And spills like honey
From the window
Warm and strange
I can't remember
How the heartbreak mends
When the fever it remains
And I'm so down
So down
So down
And I lay down
And I wont try to run
I think this song's summed up in the lines:
"I can't remember
Where the heartache ends
And the fever it begins"
and "And I'm so down"
I think the fever he's talking about and what the chorus is all about is depression, and he doesn't know how much of his depression is his heartache for a lost lover or the illness itself. I don't think it's about sex really, more him lying at home on his bed feeling like crap, not recovering from a girlfriend who left him. This fits in with other songs like Still In Love Song.
