Chest Fever Lyrics

Cover art for Chest Fever lyrics by Band, The

A song about a prostitute he develops an attachment to. I know he said the lyrics were just knockoff but maybe later in life didn't want to own them.

"I know she's a tracker " Track is a slang term for location where prostitutes attract customers.

"Any style that would back her" Any style you want if you have the cash.

"They say she's a chooser (or juicer makes more sense)" Friends tell him she is an alcoholic. Nothing but trouble but...

"But I just can't refuse her" She is good at it or he has developed an infatuation with her.

"She was just there, but then she can't be here no more" Job finished. She is off to other customers.

"And as my mind unwheels I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives"

Every man knows the freeze right before he ejaculates. She receives his ejaculate and leaves.

"She's been down in the dunes And she's dealt with the goons" She has been working in some sleazy place where she services goons

"Now she drinks from a bitter cup. I'm trying to get her to give it up." She is giving blowjobs but he wants her to be his girlfriend.

"It's long, long when she's gone I get weary holding on Now I'm coldly fading fast I don't think I'm gonna last very much longer" He is infatuated and has a hard time being without her

"She's stoned said the Swede, And the moon calf agreed" Casual comments from observers who are not infatuated.

"But I'm like a viper in shock With my eyes in the clock" She charges by the hour maybe?
