Nervous Release Lyrics - Foghat

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. 

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.
