John Cale - Fear Is A Man's Best Friend lyrics

rate me

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'ld better run like hell

You know it makes sense, don't even think about it

Life and death are just things you do when you're bored

Say fear's a man's best friend

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 just things you do when you're bored

Say fear's a man's best friend

You add it up it brings you down
