Joe Perry - The Fever lyrics

[Verse 1] He's got a split finger wrap and his rope's pulled way to tight He's got a lunatic smile 'cause he's really drawn deep tonight [Pre-Chorus] He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever [Chorus 1] Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite We are here 'cause he's not all there tonight [Verse 2] He takes one last breath and time turns inside out Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about [Pre-Chorus] He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever [Chorus 2] Stick a rope on anything because he don't care He'd even take a ride on the electric chair We are here 'cause he's not all there tonight [Verse 3] He says it's really kind of simple, keep your mind in the middle While your bu*t spins 'round and 'round [Verse 4] Take heed to Sankey's preachin', keep liftin' and reachin' And riding like there ain't no clowns [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever [Chorus 3] Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense But he won't run and baby he can't hide He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied [Outro] He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right We are here 'cause he's not all there that's right
