3 on a fever, down in the dumps The 1st one hollers, the 2nd one jumps The 3rd writes a letter to his family Says I'd kill everyone if it was up to me Early in the bathroom, looking for a drain Passing at the misery, just to ease the pain Scared at the turbid, looking for a light Anything at all to get through the long night Long night, long night Well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight Long night, long night Lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite Up against the window and up against the wall And up against religion and up against it all No place to run to and no place to hide You know the night will fall and you will crawl inside Well I get up in the morning, it's the same old news Somebody's been wearing someone else's shoes. I cripple to his crutches, I'm off to the light Well one and all, we run from the long night. Long night, long night Well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight Long night, long night Lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite I don't wanna do that jive Too late... it's too late 3 on a fever, down in the dumps The 1st one hollers, the 2nd one jumps The 3rd writes a letter to his family I said I'd kill everyone if it was up to me Long night, long night Well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight Long night, long night Lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite
