Fear Songtext
von John Cale

Thank you very much

Standing, waiting for a man to show
Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door
This waiting is killing me
It′s wearing me down
Day in, day out
My feet are burning holes in the ground

Darkness, warmer than a bedroom floor
Want someone to hold me close forevermore
I'm a sleeping dog
But you can′t tell
When I'm on the prowl
You better run like hell

As you know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Life and death are just things that you do when you′re bored


Well, say fear is a man′s best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man′s best friend
You add it up, it brings you down
You add it up, it brings you down

Home is living like a man on the run
Trails leading nowhere, where to, my son?
We're already dead
But not yet in the ground
Come on, take my helping hand
I′ll show you around

'Cause you know it makes sense, don′t even think about it
Life and death are just things that you do when you're bored

Well, say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man′s best friend
Say fear is a man′s best friend
You add it up, it brings you down
You add it up, it brings you down

Well, say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear, say fear
