Shadow Of Fear Lyrics - Absolutely - Madness

I walk through Camden town in the evening 

Strolling silently and hardly breathing 

Footsteps behind me slightly quicker 

The corner of my eye a shadowy flicker 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight 

Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight 

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware 

Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair 

Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse 

I feel him brewing up an evil curse 

I sense a chill creep up my spine 

I want to scream but only whine 

Because I know it can't be true 

Mind's gone now legs it's up to you 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight 

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight 

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware 

Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair 

I try to accept him as my partner 

He still makes cold his manic laughter 

But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears 

And makes no sound he stirs them to the ground 

Aching muscles, puff and pant I run 

To stagger home and hide behind my mum 

But even when I'm safely in my bed 

I know that he is waiting in my head 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight 

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight 

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware 

Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
