CHORUS:

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Yeah, they threw me outta jail I tell ya

it ain't fair

I tried to kiss the judge from

the electrica' chair

Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not

all there tonight...

The guitar's cranked and the bass man's

blown a fuse

And when the whole gang bands tell me

then what's your excuse?

CHORUS

Fever gives ya lust with an appetite

It hits ya like the fangs from a

rattesnake bite

We're all here 'cause we're not

all there tonight

We can't run away from trouble

There ain't no place that far

But if we do it right at the speed of light

There's the back seat of my car, cavear

I was feelin' so high I forgot what day

Now I'm feelin' low down even slow

Seems way too fast

And now the booze don't work

'Cause the drugs ran out of gas

CHORUS

The buzz that you be gettin' from the

Crack don't last

I'd rather be O.D.in' on the

Crack of her ass

Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not

All there tonight

My first time ever lover

We fell asleep out on the lawn

And when I woke up I was all alone

Makin' love to the Crack of Dawn

So yo, I beg yo pardon sir,

The gangster of love rides again

You know I gotta chill

It gimme such a thrill

Like a burnin' plague

Yeah get outta my way

Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear

As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care

You look so good baby look so fine

I tell you you're the image of the perfect crime

You get so tired holdin' on so tight

If you think you're goin' crazy

Well you may be right

CHORUS

Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not

All there that's right
