Sweetheart Lyrics

Sweetheart

My sweetheart

My sweetheart say

I sleepwalk say

I think you got a screw loose

You might need a Deepak, baby

They caught you on the streetcar, baby

That don't mean I need a fucking Deepak

You got my in-laws looking at me odd

Y'all chameleons, y'all play sheep

Change your stripes to appease zebras

Birds of a feather flock, I'm a peacock

You put me in the fire like I'm Meshach

But I'm Joseph, see my coat it's neon

You ain't trying to hear my two cents

It's cheap talk to you

To you, to you, to you

I can only reach you in my dreams

You came to me when I was in my sleep

I tried to talk but I could only sing

It felt like I had eaten mescaline

And when I looked at you, you looked right into me

And you fit like an old t-shirt

I could taste how good we once were

You used to give me fever

You still give me fever

Fever, fever

I feel, I feel, I feel it coming

Creeping on me, fever, fever

I feel, I feel, I feel it coming

Creeping on me

Fever, fever

I tried but I couldn't get a grip

You're the sickness, you're the medicine

Fishnets glittering, strawberry tongue got a smattering

Of freckled specs that's the melanin

We existed in the back of cars

Coloured melon and tangerine

(Tangerine, tangerine)

Tambourine, baby playin' me

Sour faced growing raisin trees

Remember when you said you hated me

Casually like you were asking me

If I was making tea (Honey, would you like two sugar cubes?)

If I was making tea (Some cream?)

Was all this make believe?

Baby, answer me

My sweetheart say

I sleepwalk say

I think you got a screw loose

You might need a Deepak, baby

They caught you on the streetcar, baby

I tried, I couldn't get a grip

I tried, I couldn't get a grip

I tried, I couldn't get a grip

I tried, I tried, I tried

I feel, I feel, I feel it coming

Creeping on me, fever, fever
