Siouxsie and the Banshees
Fear (of the Unknown)
[Intro]
I get the feeling I'm not alone
I get the feeling it's someone I don't know
[Verse 1]
Do you ever have the strange sensation
When you're standing mighty tall
To jump from 17 floors
And crash into freefall?
[Chorus]
But then fear, fear, fear takes control
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
[Verse 2]
Imagine two complete strangers
Who suspect they were meant to be
Both in need of love and affection
Yet their suspicions prevent something heavenly
[Chorus]
Ah, fear, fear, fear takes control
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
[Post-Chorus]
Aware of what will hurt you
You're prepared to remain this way
So sad yet safe with your afflictions
Afraid to start a brand new day
[Verse 3]
We all get the strangest feeling
When we're standing mighty tall
To jump from 17 floors
And crash into freefall
[Chorus]
But then fear, fear, fear carries all
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
Fear, fear, fear takes its toll
Fear, fear, fear of the unknown
[Post-Chorus]
Aware of what will hurt you
You're prepared to remain this way
So sad yet safe with your afflictions
Afraid to start a brand new day
