( John Cale Cover Live 2002 )



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 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 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
