Foghat - Nervous release Lyrics

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

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-n..n- 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-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release (2x)
oh baby, oh baby
alright
