Allergies

[Intro] Maladies, uh, melodies Allergies to dust and grain Maladies, remedies Still these allergies remain [Verse 1] My 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 break My 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 face [Chorus] Allergies, allergies Something's living on my skin Doctor, please, doctor, please Open up, it's me again [Verse 2] But I 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 well So I ask myself this question It's a question I often repeat Where do allergies go when it's after a show And they wanna get something to eat? [Chorus] Allergies, allergies Something's living on my skin Doctor, please, doctor, please Open up, it's me again [Bridge] Maladies, melodies Allergies to dust and grain Maladies, remedies Still these allergies remain I can't breathe [Chorus] Allergies, allergies Something's living on my skin Doctor, please, doctor, please Open up, it's me again [Outro] Allergies Allergies Allergies Allergies
