And a rope pulled way to 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 all here 'cause we're 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 on the electric chair
 We all here cause we're 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
 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 all here 'cause we're not all there
 That's right
