I'm Afraid Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Afraid of the dark 

Afraid of the light 

Don't walk in the park 

Afraid of the night 

Afraid to get stabbed 

Or hit by a car 

Afraid of the streets 

Afraid to go far 

Afraid of the sky 

Don't like to be high 

I don't want to fall 

Afraid I might die 

Afraid of my friends 

Don't like to be seen 

Afraid to be nice 

Afraid to be mean 

Afraid that the wind 

Will knock over trees 

Afraid of my dog 

Afraid of his fleas 

[chorus] 

Peace of mind 

Hard to keep 

Hard to find 

Look ahead 

Look behind 

Looking for 

Peace of mind 

Can't relax 

Can't unwind 

Deep inside 

Secret mind 

OH NO! 

Afraid to be caught 

Afraid to be free 

Afraid to make love 

Afraid of VD 

Afraid of the rain 

Don't like to get wet 

Afraid to take drugs 

They make me forget 

Afraid that the air 

Will make me get sick 

Afraid that a girl 

Will cut off my....OH! 

Someone tell me how it happened 

Why my head is so confused 

Can it be my circuits finally blew a fuse 

Can a human being really change into a humanoid 

Or is my imagination paranoid 

All I need is peace and quiet, maybe just a little time 

Turn the channel, turn the channel piece of mind 

[repeat chorus] 

Afraid of success 

Afraid to grow old 

Afraid that my brain 

Is covered with mold 

Afraid that I might 

Ce put on a shelf 

But that's not the least, oh, OH! 

Afraid of MYSELF
