Allergies Lyrics - Paul Simon

Maladies 

Melodies 

Allergies to dust and grain 

Maladies 

Remedies 

Still these allergies remain 

My hand can't touch a guitar string 

My fingers just burn and ache 

My head intercedes with my bodily needs 

And my body won't give it a break 

My heart can stand a disaster 

My heart can take a disgrace 

But my heart is allergic 

To the women I love 

And it's changing the shape of my face 

Allergies 

Allergies 

Something's living on my skin 

Doctor please 

Doctor please 

Open up it's me again 

I go to a famous physician 

I sleep in the local hotel 

From what I can see of the people like me 

We get better 

But we never get well 

So I ask myself this question 

It's a question I often repeat 

Where do allergies go 

When it's after a show 

And they want to get something to eat? 

Allergies 

Allergies 

Something's living on my skin 

Doctor please 

Doctor please 

Open up it's me again 

Maladies 

Melodies 

Allergies to dust and grain 

Maladies 

Remedies 

Still these allergies remain
