[Verse 1]
He's got a split finger wrap
And a rope pulled way too tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight

[Chorus 1]
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, 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

[Verse 2]
He takes one breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open
To the world he dreams about

[Chorus 2]
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride in an electric chair
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight

[Bridge]
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 clown
