When you're running for dear life and there's nowhere else to turn When a candle's left alone on fire something just might burn It's called fear Eating what's left inside When the current moves you quickly and steers you To The rocks When a mailman wears a mask and brings a Ticking box It's called fear Leaving marks on the body Leaving one hash mark every time you saw me There's a stranger in the lobby There were footsteps on the roof But there is no proof or reason not to hide
And that's the gospel truth When fire comes like rain and all the fish float to the top of the sea Fear When animals start to talk when a red horse begins to scream Fear fear fear It pours blood into every dream Turning midnight into daydreams The water has turned to red Someone you know might be dead But that's not a nice thing to have said Be sure to look under your bed Fear It's hard being alone when you ain't got no home So maybe there's no bed at all Fear
