Storyline Fever

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 filtering how everything looks to you
 Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
 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
