Lyrics
The Fear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is our music from the bachelors den;
The sound of lonliness turned up to ten;
A horror soundtrack, from a stagnant waterbed
And it feels just like this
This is the sound of someone losing the plot
Making out that they're ok when they are not
They could have liked it but not a lot
And the chorus goes like this
Oh baby here comes the fear again oh wow
The end is near again oh wow
A monkey's built a house on your back;
You can't get anyone to come in the sack
And here comes another panic attack oh
Here we go again
So now you know the words to my song
Pretty soon we'll all be singing along
When you're sad when you're lonely and it all turns out wrong
When you've got the fear
And when you're no longer searching for beauty or love
Just some kind of life where the edge is taken off
When you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of
This song will be here
Oh baby here comes the fear again oh wow
The end is near again oh wow
If you ever get that jip off your back
If you ever find the thing that you lack
Oh you know you're only having a laugh oh
Oh here we go again
Until the end
Until the end
Ooooouu.....[many ooooous]
