We All Have Fears Lyrics - The Cog Is Dead

Once in a quiet little town 

in just a couple hours once the sun went down 

a crew began assembling a thrilling new attraction 

more exciting than a merry-go-round 

This was the first one of its kind 

a thrilling new attraction called a roller coaster ride 

but the people wouldn't ride it 

they said, "What if we collided 

with another car and died?" 

Well we all have fears 

and we know some day our time is gonna come 

but no matter how you cut it 

everyone will kick the bucket 

when our days are done 

So don't waste your years 

doing nothing with the little time you got 

don't just sit right there and piddle 

go on out and live a little 

or else you'll only stand around and rot 

Alistair was quiet as a mouse 

a modest little man who was afraid to leave his house 

he spent all of his hours 

as he worried and he cowered 

hiding safely while he grumbled and he groused 

Well after he waited many years 

his tiny little ticker had a jamming of its gears 

for years the cost of worry 

sent his heart into a flurry 

and he finally died of fear
