Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you folks back home
I'll never tell you this
You're not suppose to know
Where you daughter is
There are ways of life
You never understood
It's right here
[Verse 2]
Downtown Hollywood
It's afternoon on sunset boulevard
I got a stolen moment trying hard
To write a kind of Christmas card
But I am burning out again
Tonight there is fever in my veins
[Verse 3]
Mama, dear
All the love you gave
I guess there's really nothing
Nothing much to save
See this place is a dirty as I feel myself
There are still some riches
At the Roosevelt
That evening prayer
Those memories
[Verse 4]
In my little bedroom, mama on my knees
That's where I'm at
Down in Los Angeles
And I'm burning out again
And I must rise above the shame
Tonight there is fever in my veins
[Verse 5]
Just to think of the girl I use to be
You were my age once, momma
Twenty-three
I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
From that summer of love in '68
Seems it's turned into a winter of hate
[Verse 6]
And I'm burning out again
Inside I must rise above the pain
Tonight there'll be fever in my veins
Tonight there is fever in my veins
[Verse 7]
Summer of love
Winter of hate
