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   Remedies   Still these allergies remain
