Lyrics

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

(Chorus)
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
Then what is your excuse?

(Chorus)

Fever gives you lust with an appetite
It hits you like the fangs
From a rattlesnake bite

Yeah 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 backseat of my car - caviar

I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feeling low down
Even slow feels way to fast
And now the booze don't work
'Cause the drugs ran out of gas

(Chorus)

The buzz that you're 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
Making love to the crack of dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir
The gangster of love rides again

You now I gotta chill
It gimme such a thrill
Like a burnin' plague 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 baby, 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
