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 You know it makes sense Don't even think about it Life and death Are things you just do when you're born Chorus Say fear's a man's best friend Say fear's a man's best friend Say fear's 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 leaving 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 You know it makes sense Don't even think about it Life and death Are things you just do when you're born Chorus Say fear's a man's best friend
