Nothing To Fear (but Fear Itself) Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Hey neighbor let me give you some advice 

The Russians are about to pulverize us in our sleep tonight 

That is if the crazy Arabs or the riots don't get us first 

And the fire will rain down from the sky 

The fire will rain down from the sky 

People will die, people will die 

People will die, people will die 

But go ahead sleep tight in your beds 

Remember what the wise man said 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

And the temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

Hey little girl won't you come this way? 

Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake 

Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss 

Or perhaps a ride in my big car 

Perhaps a ride in my big car 

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid? 

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid? 

Won't you make an old man happy? 

Won't you make an old man happy? 

Won't you let me show your paradise? 

Don't ask your mother for advice 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

And the temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street 

If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning Jesus freak 

If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out 

If they don't take away your passion with a color TV set 

They'll take away your heart and soul 

They'll take away your heart and soul 

They'll take away your heart and soul 

They'll take away your heart and soul 

But remember what the wise man said 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

There's nothing to fear but fear itself 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

There's nothing to fear 

(But fear itself) 

And the temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop 

The temperature's starting to drop now 

The temperature's starting to drop
