I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen) - Fever (Original) - Sean O'Reilly - Live at the Limelight - 2-20-10

A newer original song that I've been playing quite a bit. i throw some Bruuuuuce on at the beginning because it makes sense to me.

Fever
quick trip downtown
same old same old the same
one mile from your place
and all i see is rain

all the street lights are turning red
so i stop to look around
glance in my rearview mirror
and all i see is a frown

and this fever
fever it's burning me up
fever for you
and i'm burning alive
fever
fever it's burning me up
and I don't feel alright
i'm burning alive

i don't feel well when i think of you
and wonder where you are
thinking you must be hating me
to have been gone so long so far

i reason you must be like the truth
or that cat up in that tree
you know i'm not one for climbing
so you stay barely out of reach

and i feel this
and this fever
fever it's burning me up
fever for you
and i'm burning alive
fever
fever it's burning me up
and I don't feel alright
i'm burning alive

one day you'll come and see me
i'll be playing some sad song
you'll tell me you don't like these lines
you'll ask me what the hell's gone wrong
i'll tell you i'm tired
of forcing smiles
and trying to hide
that i feel like dying
just cause i'm not crying
don't mean i'm fine
and i'm not fine
cause you should be mine
but you leave me with this

and this fever
fever it's burning me up
fever for you
and i'm burning alive
fever
fever it's burning me up
and I don't feel alright
cause i need ya
need ya
and it's burning me up
i need you so bad can't you see
i'm burning alive
i need ya need ya
it's burning me up
and I don't feel alright

and I can't sleep at night
cause i'm burning alive

quick trip downtown
same old same old the same

This sounds creepy! Original is best

[SarahArrowquin]

Oh I'm on fire......a beautifully intro ....his song can take you anywhere its an eye opener... but your song tells the story takes you inside of the boss and what he's singing inside the song......... just cool and great to hear .....

[kosciel24]

amazing!!

[AbsintheColour]

Very nice playing for the Boss there. Love it. Used to love him. Your original is wonderful and i can see why it fits after "Im on Fire" ;^)

[evilstalkerhorne]

great pianist ............ not so good vocalist though.

[OrangeSummerBand]

thanks for the add! i'm a huge springsteen fan, I really enjoyed your version. Took the haunting aspect of the song and brought it to another level. Your original song sounds great too. Definitely something I could picture being on the radio...if radio stations were to play good stuff anymore lol.
