Lyrics

[00:23.915] On occasion, we all do battle with motivational paralysis
[00:29.662] Unable to perform some simple task
[00:32.300] Trapped at the stage of analysis
[00:35.383] Thoughts of the shortness of life may beget
[00:38.256] Bouts of shortness of breath in your chest
[00:41.156] Doubts about the worth of the nights you got left
[00:44.212] Crowding out all but fear and regret
[00:46.511] You got storyline fever, storyline flu
[00:49.593] It's filtering how everything looks to you
[00:52.650] Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
[00:55.602] Storyline fever got its hooks in you
[00:58.684] Storyline fever got its hooks in you
[01:01.453]
[01:24.545] You took your love to the marketplace
[01:27.184] In the wanting corner of a Western state
[01:30.031] Where every other shopper is a basket case
[01:32.904] Just relies on the horizon, forms a frowning face
[01:35.987] Hanging around those haunts at night
[01:39.043] Where half the clientele was part poltergeist
[01:41.917] Grinding an axe against all that exists
[01:44.660] Minus their protected exceptions to it
[01:47.664] You got storyline fever, storyline flu
[01:50.433] Apparently impairing your point of view
[01:53.254] It's making ********* sound true to you
[01:56.415] Now it's impacting how you're acting too
[01:59.366] Now it's impacting how you're acting too
[02:02.919]
[02:25.384] Got a comb over cut circa Abscam sting
[02:28.258] Make a better Larry than Lizard King
[02:30.975] But you got to find a way to make it work
[02:33.822] 'Cause your feet is where your demons lurk
[02:36.878] When you're seller and commodity
[02:39.464] You gotta sell yourself immodestly
[02:42.495] Turn your pedestal into a carving board
[02:45.473] If that's what the audience is starving for
[02:48.372] You got storyline fever, storyline flu
[02:51.376] You're filtering how everything looks to you
[02:53.936] Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
[02:57.228] Storyline fever got its hooks in you
[03:00.180] Storyline fever got its hooks in you
[03:03.967]
