Play a Song to my Fevered Heart

Play a song to my fevered heart

do not stop, do not restart.

 

Sing the tears right off my face

sing forever, just in case.

 

Rock the shoes off my aching feet

"down on the corner, out in the street"

 

Beat that bass till youth returns

and the yearning soul within me churns.

 

Solo licks of sacred breath

heard not once since Hendrix's death.

 

Compose a score of rising tension

race my heart with hot dissension

 

Songs of love or songs of trance...

 

...all I want to do is dance.
