| I’ve been wearin' my fingers down to the bone
|
| Just pushin' your number on the telephone
|
| I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall
|
| But your line was busy every time I call
|
| Remember the shots that we took last night?
|
| Polaroid woman sure treat me right
|
| But right now I’m down on my knees
|
| I need your nervous release, your nervous release
|
| I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge
|
| Like I just stepped back from a window ledge
|
| I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine
|
| Feel like I’m burnin' bad gasoline
|
| IBM woman, now I’ve got a hunch
|
| You’re too wound up from operating that punch
|
| I’ll hang up the phone, grab the keys
|
| I need your nervous release, ah yeah
|
| I woke up at noon, I should’ve stayed in bed
|
| I checked my level, it was in the red
|
| I swear I heard voices, there was no one around
|
| An ice-cold shower couldn’t cool me down
|
| I used to brag about my nerves of steel
|
| Heavy Metal woman just can’t be real
|
| Cool me down by degrees
|
| I need your nervous release, na na na
|
| I’m as nervous as a man could be
|
| Full of guilt and insecurity
|
| Too much work, man it’s killing me
|
| Like a mad dog howling through the trees
|
| I need your nervous release, your nervous release
|
| N-n-nervous release, n-n-nervous release
|
| Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
|
| Oh baby, oh baby oh baby oh oh baby
|
| Yeah alright
|
| Yeah yeah yeah
|
| I need your nervous release
|
| Yeah yeah |
