"Fear Is A Man's Best Friend" lyrics

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 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
Run like hell

You know it makes sense
Don't think about it
Life and death
Are just things that you do
When you'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
When 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 lead to nowhere
Where to, my son?
We're already dead
Not yet in the ground
Take my helping hand
I'll show you around

You know it makes sense
Don't think about it
Life and death
Are just things that you do
When you'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
When you add it up
It brings you down
You add it up
It brings you down
