Allergies lyrics

(Paul Simon)

Maladies
Melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies
Remedies
Still these allergies remain
My hand 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
Allergies
Allergies
Something`s living on my skin
Doctor please
Doctor please
Open up it`s me again
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 want to get something to eat?
Allergies
Allergies
Something`s living on my skin
Doctor please
Doctor please
Open up it`s me again
Maladies
Melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies

Still these allergies remain
