Dave Peverett - Riff Bros Music - ASCAP
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 everytime 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
{Instrumental
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
N-nn- n-
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-nn-nn-nn-nervous release
N-nn-nn-nn-nervous release
Oh baby, oh baby
Alright!
