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
