The Fever Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

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-a anythin' and hold on tight 

It hits you like a venom from a rattlesnake 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's preachin' 

Keep liftin' and 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!
