( 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
