Mansun - Check Under The Bed lyrics

You see my fear looks like laughter That's why you'll never hear me scream And i'm learning to rule in my simian shoes Tradition has absorbed the sickest things (another fear looks like laughter) And they're grabbing with paws Somewhere i am not safe In their animal's place Claustrophobia maze Ideology faked for a simian race Trip me up I become a nervous wreck Put me in a padded cage And i call it my domain With my shoelace trip me up I become a nervous wreck Put me in a padded cage And i call it my domain I know my fear looks like laughter That's why you'll never see me scream And i'm learning to rule in my simian shoes Tradition has absorbed the sickest things (another fear looks like laughter)
