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