There's a fire every night that shakes me from my sleep Puts a trouble, puts a fright into the corners of my dreams It's not the bats biting ankle to neck that kick me from my bed But this strange premonition sending sparks through my head There's a fever every night, 60,000 degrees Takes a torch to my mind, incinerates my dreams It's not the death knell ringing round the clock that's giving me fits But this sick sinking feeling turning my head to tricks When it wraps you in its arms, holds you like a hex Do you confess love is best? When it spins a web around your sweet and tender neck Do you confess love is best? When it climbs into your thoughts, a thief upon the cross Do you confess love is best? When the tears like acid rain fill your eyes with doubt and pain Do you confess love is best? When it calls your name, holds your fingers to the flame Do you confess love is best? When it sees through all your plans, a vile hologram Do you confess love is best? What lesson did you learn that shined above the rest? One, my son: love is best Only one, my son: love is best
