Still these allergies remain

My hand can't touch a guitar string

My fingers just burn and ache

My head intercedes 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

Allergies

Allergies

Something's living on my skin

Doctor please

Doctor please

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?
