John Cale - Fear Is A Man's Best Friend lyrics

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 you'd
Better run like hell
You know it makes sense
Don't even think about it
Life and death are just things
You do when you're bored
Say fear's a man's best friend
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
Just not yet in the ground
Take my helping hand I'll show you around
You know it makes sense
Don't even think about it
Life and death are just things
You do when you're bored
Say fear's a man's best friend
You add it up it brings you down
