He's got a split finger wrap  And his rope's 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're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight    He takes one 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'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    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  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
