[Intro]
Maladies, uh, melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies, remedies
Still these allergies remain

[Verse 1]
My hands 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

[Chorus]
Allergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor, please, doctor, please
Open up, it's me again

[Verse 2]
But 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 wanna get something to eat?
[Chorus]
Allergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor, please, doctor, please
Open up, it's me again

[Bridge]
Maladies, melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies, remedies
Still these allergies remain
I can't breathe

[Chorus]
Allergies, allergies
Something's living on my skin
Doctor, please, doctor, please
Open up, it's me again

[Outro]
Allergies
Allergies
Allergies
Allergies
