Fever

I got a rip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes

I got a Margarita nose and a breath full of Mad Dog Booze

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Yeah they threw me outta jail I tell ya it ain't fair

I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica' chair

Yeah, we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight

The guitar's cranked and the bass man's blown a fuse

And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what's your excuse?

We got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Fever gives ya lust with an appetite

It hits ya like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite

We're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight

We can't run away from trouble

There ain't no place that far

But if we do it right at the speed of light

There's the back seat of my car, caviar

I was feelin' so high I forgot what day

Now I'm feelin' low down, even slow seems way to fast

And now the booze don't work 'cause the drugs ran out of gas

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

The buzz that you be gettin' from the crack don't last

I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass

Yeah, we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight

My first time ever lover

We fell asleep out on the lawn

And when I woke up I was all alone

Makin' love to the crack of dawn

So yo, I beg your pardon sir

The gangster of love rides again

I got the fever (you know I've gotta chill)

Fever (it gimme such a thrill)

Fever (like a burnin' plague)

Fever (yeah, get outta my way)

Fever may be hell and a cross to bear

As long as I'm in heaven honey, I don't care

You look so good, babe you look so fine

I tell you you're the image of a perfect crime

You get so tired holdin' on so tight

If you think you're goin' crazy, well you may be right

Yeah, we're all here 'cause we're not all there, that's right
