Fever

I got a rip in my pants

And hole in my brand new shoes

I got a Margarita nose

And a breath full of Mad Dog Booze

I got the fever, a fever, a fever, a fever

Yeah, they threw me out of jail, I tell you it ain't fair

I tried to kiss the judge from the electric chair

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

The guitars 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, a fever

Fever gives you lust with an appetite

It hits you like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite

We are 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 feeling so high I forgot what day, now I'm feeling low down

Even slow seems way too fast

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

I got the fever, fever, a fever, a fever

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

I'd rather be O-D-ing on the crack of her ass

Yeah, we are 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

Making love to the crack of dawn

So you, I beg your pardon, sir

The gangster of love rides again

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

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 baby look so fine

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

You get so tired of holding on so tight

If you think you're going crazy well you may be right

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