Yeah!

He's got a split-finger wrap,
And his rope's pulled way too tight.
He's got a lunatic smile,
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight.
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever.

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.

He takes one last breath,
And time turns inside out.
Then the gate busts open,
To the world he dreams about.
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever.

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.

He says it's really kind of simple,
Keep your mind in the middle.
While your butt spins 'round and 'round.
Take heed to Sankey's1 preachin'.
Keep a-liftin' and a-reachin',
And ridin' like there ain't no clowns.

Well, what he loves might kill 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.
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever.

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.
He gets so tired of,
Hangin' on so tight.
I know you think he's crazy,
Well, I think you're right.
We're all here,
'Cause he's not all there.
That's right!
