[Verse 1]
We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night
You can feel so much
In the heat of the night
I scream, "Don't touch!"

[Chorus]
I remember a time
When we used and abused
We fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time
We thought that passion was free
In the heat of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...

[Verse 2]
I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares
Till somebody famous dies...

[Chorus]
I remember a time
When we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time
We thought that passion was free
In the heat of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...
We live in fever...
[Bridge]
Now we live in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key
To what you want to be
You don't get a say
The majority gets its way
You're outnumbered by the bastards
Till the day you die...
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I hear your silent heartbeat
I hear your silent cries
Oh, they're just telling lies and lies
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares
Till somebody famous dies...
They're telling lies and lies and lies
And lies and lies and lies
And lies and lies and lies...
Aah! Ha-ha-ha

[Interlude]
I remember the time
When we used and abused
Ah, it was just lies
I remember a time
We thought that passion was free
And it was just lies and lies and lies...
And lies and lies and lies and lies...
Heat of the night
Aah!
[Guitar Solo]

We live in fever, we live in fever
We live in fever...

[Chorus]
Now we live in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key
To what you want to be
You don't get a say
The majority gets its way
You're outnumbered by the bastards
Till the day you die
