Shadow of Fear — текст песни (Madness)

I walk through camden town in the evening,

Strolling silently and hardly breathing.

Footsteps behind me slightly quicker,

The corner of my eye a shadowy flicker.



I wonder if hes after my soul again tonight.

Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight.

I shout at passing strangers but they dont seem aware,

Dont want to get involved in my spiritual affair.



Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse.

I feel him brewing up an evil curse.

I sense a chill creep up my spine

I want to scream but only whine

Because I know it cant be true

Minds gone now legs its up to you.



I wonder if hes after my soul again tonight.

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight.

I shout at passing strangers but they dont seem aware,

Dont want to get involved in my spititual affair



I try to accept him as my partner.

He still makes cold his manic laughter.

But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears

And makes no sound he stirs them to the ground.



Acheing muscles, puff and pant I run.

To stagger home and hide behind my mum.

But even when Im safely in my bed.

I know that he is waiting in my head.



I wonder if hes after my soul again tonight.

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight.

I shout at passing strangers but they dont seem aware,

Dont want to get involved in my spiritual affair.
