Fever Pitch

Every minute feels like rush hour All of the city on automatic pilot Nobody stops to smell the flowers And whenever I try to, my brain just overrides it Stuck in a groove No matter what I do I always draw a blank Running on empty I'm Working borrowed time How do I write the next line? When was the last time I reached fever pitch? Inside my head the crowd screams silently I'm trying so hard just to be unhitched I want so badly to be rid of these brick walls in my head 'Cause I keep coming up blank again and again I remember when I tested the waters Now I'm coming up dry, can't open up the borders Hazardous headaches most every night I'm looking for keepsakes to hook onto every line Stuck in a groove No matter what I do I always draw a blank Running on empty I'm Working borrowed time How do I write the next line? When was the last time I reached fever pitch? Inside my head the crowd screams silently I'm trying so hard just to be unhitched I want so badly to be rid of these brick walls in my head 'Cause I keep coming up blank again and again Has every song already been written? Has every movie already been made? I've heard it said that there's nothing new under the sun Well I'll stop at nothing to get back to blazing guns When was the last time I reached fever pitch? Inside my head the crowd screams silently I'm trying so hard just to be unhitched I want so badly to be rid of these brick walls in my head 'Cause I keep coming up blank Yes I keep coming up blank again and again
