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 [bad word] like [bad word] 
You know it makes sense
 Don't think about it
 Life and death are just things
 That you do when you're bored

Say fear is a man's best friend
 Say fear is a man's best friend
 Say fear is 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 [bad word]  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
 That you do when you're bored

Say fear is a man's best friend
 Say fear is a man's best friend
 Say fear is a man's best friend
 When you add it up it brings you down
 You add it up it brings you down
