It was something cool Something bright I had the fear in the middle of the night Tore a page from a cooking book It had a map to a Moroccan souk Shame on me Shame on you You turned a lovely shade of blue I got the fear now I got the fear now A bottle of wine and Turkish cigarettes Your silky stockings and fine fishnets I got the fear now Gimme the fear now A comet has landed on my door I see the sheriff wagging like a whore Shame on us A shame to bear We'll be locked up Put rightin care I got the fear now Gimme the fear now Liars, thieves and politicans Kama Sutra in 20 positions Gimme the fear now I got the fear now I have a crooked house And a crooked bed Mystical people in my head I got the fear now I got the fear now Gimme the fear now Gimme a beer now I got the fear now Gimme a beer now I got the anger chased by rage Actors up there right on stage I am going downtown to get me some thrills If I can make it through life's chills and spills Gimme a beer now
