She bought a red dress and it made her feel pretty
Took a train trip down to the city
Walked around in high heels all day
Watching the eyes as they followed her legs
Playing at grown up
Playing at I'm ok
Playing at confident
And unafraid.

She bought some flowers from a vendor on the sidewalk
Sat in cafe and listened to people talk
Reading a book so profound
While surreptitiously looking around
Playing at aloof
Playing the artist card
Playing at beautiful
Now that was hard.

Tonight she'll have a series of fevered dreams
And blistered feet and aching need
Playing asleep

She bought those red shoes they made her feel taller
Gave her number to a man who might call her
Waited around till he did,
Only to tell him she couldn't be his
Playing at romance
Playing at hard to get
Playing if I'm so loved
Why don't I feel it yet?

Tonight she'll have a series of fevered dreams
And an aching heart and a soul that bleeds
Playing at lonely

Tonight she'll have a series of fevered dreams
And blistered feet and aching need
Playing at lonely

Dol, this is an absolutely beautiful song but wow...it's competing for attention with your face. :)

Love the backdrop. You're soooo creative.

Fever dreams-which I've had a series of only once that I can remember-are great. What makes them come can hurt like hell but they sure are great. Or maybe it's the delusion of the fever. Anyway I dug them. So maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way.

Either way, I like it. :)

@Aspiring46er lol I had a very disabeling kidney infection recently and a fever over 103, the dreams that I had were very disturbing so that's how the image ended up in the song. I've had fever dreams at other times that were pleasant however, but at those times the fever wasn't that high. :) thanks again :) :) BIG HUGS
