Lyrics

I know she's a tracker

I acknowledge that she is skilled at tracking.

Any style that would back her

She can adopt any style that supports her.

They say she's a chooser

People say she is a decision-maker.

But I just can't refuse her

Despite that, I find it hard to resist her.

She was just there, but then she can't be here no more

She was present before, but now she is no longer here.


And as my mind unweaves

As I unravel my thoughts,

I feel the freeze down in my knees

I sense a cold sensation in my knees.

But just before she leaves, she receives

Just before she departs, she receives something.


She's been down in the dunes

She has experienced challenges in the dunes.

And she's dealt with the goons

Dealt with tough individuals (the goons).

Now she drinks from a bitter cup

Now she faces difficulties and drinks from a bitter cup.

I'm trying to get her to give it up

I'm attempting to persuade her to give it up.

She was just here, I fear she can't be there no more

She was present before, but I fear she won't be there anymore.


And as my mind unweaves

As my thoughts unravel,

I feel the freeze down in my knees

I feel a chilling sensation in my knees.

But just before she leaves, she receives

Just before she leaves, she receives something.


It's long, long when she's gone

Time feels prolonged when she is not around.

I get weary holding on

I become tired of holding on.

Now I'm coldly fading fast

Now I am rapidly losing warmth.

I don't think I'm gonna last very much longer

I don't think I can endure much longer.


"She's stoned," said the Swede

The Swede says she's under the influence of drugs.

And the moon calf agreed

The moon calf (a foolish person) agrees.

But I'm like a viper in shock

But I am like a shocked snake.

With my eyes in the clock

With my eyes fixed on the clock.

She was just there somewhere and here I am again

She was present somewhere, and here I am again.


And as my mind unweaves

As my thoughts unravel,

I feel the freeze down in my knees

I feel a chilling sensation in my knees.

But just before she leaves, she receives

Just before she leaves, she receives something.
