The Fever
[Verse 1]
He's got a split finger wrap
And a rope pulled way too tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight

[Chorus 1]
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, grab a hold of anything and hold on tight
It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight

[Verse 2]
He takes one breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open
To the world he dreams about

[Chorus 2]
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride in an electric chair
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight

[Bridge]
He says it's really kind of simple
Keep your mind in the middle
While your butt spins 'round and 'round
Take heed to Sankey's preachin'
Keep liftin' and reachin'
And ridin' like there ain't no clown
[Verse 3]
What he loves might kill him
But he's got no choice
He's a different breed
With a voice down deep inside
That's screamin' he was born to ride

[Chorus 3]
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense
Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense
Well, he won't run, and baby, he can't hide
He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied
He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight
I know you think he's crazy, well, I think you're right
But we're all here 'cause he's not all there, that's right
