[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 bu*t 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 k** 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
