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
