  Still these allergies remain


  |   | 
My hands can't touch a guitar string

  |   | 
My fingers just burn and  ache

  |     | 
My head inter-cedes 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

  Open up it's me again

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 want to get something to eat?
