Madness - Shadow of Fear lyrics
[Madness - Shadow of Fear lyrics]
I walk through Camden Town in the evening
Strolling silently, 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 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
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 finds my ears
That hear no sound and make
Me stare into 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
Strolling silently, 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 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
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 finds my ears
That hear no sound and make
Me stare into 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
