Fear Is A Man's Best Friend

Fear Is A Man's Best Friend - John Cale

Written by：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'd better run like hell

You know it makes sense

Don't even think about it

Life and death are things you just

You do when you're bored

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's 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

Just not yet in the ground

Take my helping hand

I'll show you around

You know it makes sense

Don't even think about it

Life and death are things just

You do when you're bored

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

You add it up it brings you down

You add it up it brings you down

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend

Say fear's a man's best friend
