fear is a man's best friend
Standing waiting for a man to show Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door This waiting's killing me It's getting me down Day in day out My feet are wearing holes in the ground  Darkness, woman and 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'd better run like hell  You know it makes sense, don't you think about it Life and death are things we only do when we're bored 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 Days leading nowhere "Where to my son ?" We're already dead But not yet in the ground Come on, hold my shaking hand And I'll show you around
