Uncover your eyes,
I’ll tell you the story of no surprise.
It started at three,
then landed on chapter nineteen.
No sermons for thieves,
just strangers invading their own recipes
to serve as they like:
chocolate, vanilla, strawberry please.
Hey!
Just carry on idly smiling...
but don’t bet on the odds against fools.
And remember they’re wrong when they said
the fever is you.
Hey!
Uncover your eyes,
there’s more to the story of no surprise.
So what more to do,
when you surrender the time that blinds you?
Through your microscope, the molecules change,
but you’ve already shown
the world isn’t blue, as the mercury climbs inside of you.
Hey!
Just carry on idly smiling...
but don’t bet on the odds against fools (against you.)
And remember the cost when they say
the fever is you.
Yes, the fever is you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Don’t carry on idly smiling
and don’t bet on the odds against fools.
Remember they’re wrong when they said
the fever is you.
Yes, the fever is you.
Oh, the fever is you.
Yeah, the fever is you.
Hey!
