Lyrics

Dave peverett - riff bros. music - ascap

I've been wearin' my fingers down to the bone
Just pushin' your number on the telephone
I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall
But your line was busy everytime I call
Remember the shots that we took last night?
Polaroid woman sure treat me right
But right now I'm down on my knees
I need your nervous release
Your nervous release

I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge
Like I just stepped back from a window ledge
I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine
Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline
Ibm woman, now I've got a hunch
You're too wound up from operating that punch
I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys
I need your nervous release, ah yeah

{Instrumental}

I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed
I checked my level, it was in the red
I swear I heard voices, there was no one around
An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down
I used to brag about my nerves of steel
Heavy metal woman just can't be real!
Cool me down by degrees
I need your nervous release
N-n..n- n- ..

I'm as nervous as a man could be
Full of guilt and insecurity
Too much work, man it's killing me!
Like a mad dog howling through the trees
I need your nervous release, your nervous release

N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release
Oh baby, oh baby..
Alright!
