lyrics

A bed's a thing
for the man in the house
so a hammock would have to do

And standing in the July heat
the bus went right through you
like you were some kinda ghost
or some holy spirit man I wouldn't know

Who was your friend?
When you were standing all alone on the freeway?
Glass neck in hand, who was your friend, standing on the freeway?
Couldn't be me, just a kid,
a kid you never really knew,
but a kid who claims alone that they heard you.

I saw a light howl in the dark,
I saw blazing eyes on the boardwalk,
I saw the only man left in Asbury Park.

A stranger paid your debts,
with a bullet through your crucifix.

Who was your friend?
When you were standing all alone on the freeway?
Glass neck in hand, who was your friend, standing on the freeway?

Lovely Fever,
the Great Deceiver,
Lovely Fever,
the Great Deceiver.
