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 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
