[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 better run like hell
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Life and death are things you just do when you're bored
[Chorus]
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
You add it up, it brings you down
You add it up, it brings you down
[Verse 3]
Home is living like a man on the run
Trails leading nowhere, where to, my son?
We're already dead
But not yet in the ground
Come on, shake my helping hand
I'll show you around
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Life and death are things you just do when you're bored
[Chorus]
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
You add it up, it brings you down
You add it up, it brings you down
[Outro]
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
Say fear is a man's best friend
