Allergies

Maladies, melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies, remedies
Still these allergies remainMy hands can't touch a guitar string
My fingers just burn and ache
My head intercedes with my bodily needs
And my body won't give it a breakMy heart can stand a disaster
My heart can take a disgrace
But my heart is allergic to the women I love
And it's changing the shape of my faceAllergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor please, doctor please
Open up it's me againI go to a famous physician
I sleep in the local hotel
From what I can see of the people like me
We get better but we never get wellSo I ask myself this question
It's a question I often repeat
Where do allergies go when it's after a show
And they want to get something to eat?Allergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor please, doctor please
Open up it's me againMaladies, melodies

I can't breatheAllergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor please, doctor please
Open up it's me againAllergies, allergies
