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
