| Gentle ladies, gentleman
|
| Waiting ‘till the dance begins
|
| Carefully we come to speak
|
| A word for all to hear
|
| If you listen, if you should
|
| We won’t be misunderstood
|
| But don’t expect the words to ring
|
| Too sweetly on the ear
|
| Live in fear, live in fear
|
| Live in fear
|
| In the gutter, in the street
|
| Off his head or off his feet
|
| Listen to the scratchy voices
|
| Eating at your nerves
|
| Pencils ready, paper dry
|
| Shoot the girls and make ‘em cry
|
| Run for cover, things are bad
|
| But now they’re getting worse
|
| Live in fear, live in fear
|
| Live in fear, live in fear
|
| Is it painful, is it right?
|
| Does it keep you warm at night?
|
| Fool your friends and fool yourself
|
| The choice is crystal clear
|
| If you break it on your knee
|
| Better men might disagree
|
| Do you laugh or do you stick
|
| Your finger in your ear?
|
| Live in fear, live in fear
|
| Live in fear, live in fear |
