Shiver Songtext

von Giant Sand

There's something in the water?
Besides a moon that don't know when to quit.
The spine waits to feel the shiver,
But right now deals with a great lack of it.
Way up in the high desert or down in anywhere France?
Trains are built to remedy?
Tracks laid out at least allow half a chance?
To deliver
The shiver.

Forget aging well like some treasured splendor?
With words just so strong
And a touch just so tender.
Is it better off beyond description
Left alone in a dark room with a mouthful of prescription?
Barely able to deliver
Unable to understand
The deliver of shiver.

So you take your time
And you take your leave
Ready to do without
Ready to receive.
Never mind going to find
Good love down by the river.
Might as well find your spine a shiver.
There's something in the water
Besides a moon that don't know when to quit?
Come on and deliver
The shiver.
