lyrics

It’s the alibi you need
When you must go straight
When you leave before the thrill
Throw the dice
Turn your head away
Turn your head and
Light a candle say a prayer
There’s something in this time of year
But summer’s coming its in your ear
We’ll take a taste
Then we’ll disappear and

Release
An emotion
Burning through this rain
The freeway’s open
Like a river
To ocean
And it all lets out
The fever’s broken

Go down and save the city
It’s in need of a rescue
It suffers from a chill
Just a weekend in Vegas
I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear it
Like a secret you meant to keep
When all these things come creeping in
The other side of Sunday morning
A midnight kiss without a warning

A release
An emotion
Burning through this rain
The freeway’s open
Like a river
To ocean
And it all lets out
The fever’s broken

Its quarter four bustin’ down the door
Making love on the beds of the furniture store
What’s wrong is right what’s right is wrong
Pretty pink flamingos out on the lawn
Step outside have a beer or cigarette and relax
Do what you do to relax
Do what you do to relax and

Release
An emotion
Burning through this rain
The freeway’s open
Like a river
Goes to ocean
And it all lets out
The fever’s broken

Release
An emotion
Burning through this rain
Like the rivers
Go to ocean
And it all lets out

Release me
Oh reveal me
Heal me
Feel me

Release me
Oh reveal me
Heal me
Feel me
