Fear (Is a Man’s Best Friend) (outtake) Songtext
von John Cale

Standing, waiting for a man to show
Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door
This waiting′s 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 forever more
I′m a sleeping dog
But you can't tell
When I'm on the prowl
You better run like hell

′Cause you know, it makes sense, don′t even think about it
Life and death are things you just 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, shake my helping hand
I′ll show you around

Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man′s best friend

Say fear
