Fear Is A Man's Best Friend Lyrics - 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 

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 leading 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
