Lyrics
On occasion, we all do battle with
Motivational paralysis
Unable to perform some simple task
Trapped at the stage of analysis
Thoughts of the shortness of life may beget
Bouts of shortness of breath in your chest
Doubts about the worth of the nights you got left
Crowdin' out all the fear and regret
You got a storyline fever, storyline flu
It's filterin' how everything looks to you
Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
You took your love to the marketplace
In the wanton corner of a Western state
Where every other shopper is a basket case
Just realizin' the horizon forms a frownin' face
Hangin' around those haunts at night
Where half the clientele was part poltergeist
Grindin' an axe against all that exists
Minus their protected exceptions to it
You got a storyline fever, storyline flu
Apparently impairing your point of view
It's makin' horseshit sound true to you
Now it's impactin' how you're actin' too
Now it's impactin' how you're actin' too
Got a comb over cut circa Abscam sting
Make a better Larry than Lizard King
But you gotta find a way to make it work
'Cause your feet is where your demons lurk
When you're seller and commodity
You gotta sell yourself immodestly
Turn your pedestal into a carving board
If that's what the audience is starving for
You got a storyline fever, storyline flu
You're filterin' how everything looks to you
Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
