Lyrics:

I've been wearin' my fingers down to the bone
Just pushin' your number on the telephone
I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall
But your line was busy every time I call

Remember the shots that we took last night?
Polaroid woman sure treat me right
But right now I'm down on my knees

I need your nervous release, your nervous release

I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge
Like I just stepped back from a window ledge
I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine
Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline

IBM woman, now I've got a hunch
You're too wound up from operating that punch
I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys

I need your nervous release, ah yeah

I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed
I checked my level, it was in the red
I swear I heard voices, there was no one around
An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down

I used to brag about my nerves of steel
Heavy Metal woman just can't be real
Cool me down by degrees

I need your nervous release, na na na

I'm as nervous as a man could be
Full of guilt and insecurity
Too much work, man it's killing me
Like a mad dog howling through the trees

I need your nervous release, your nervous release

N-n-nervous release, n-n-nervous release
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby oh baby oh oh baby
Yeah alright

Yeah yeah yeah
I need your nervous release
Yeah yeah
