Madness — Shadow of Fear

[Verse 1] I walk through Camden Town in the evening Strolling silently, hardly breathing Footsteps behind me slightly quicker The corner of my eye a shadowy flicker [Chorus] I wonder if he's 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 don't seem aware Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair [Verse 2] 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 can't be true Mind's gone, now legs it's up to you [Chorus] I wonder if he's 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 don't seem aware Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair [Bridge] I try to accept him as my partner He still makes cold his manic laughter But every time I try to turn around he finds my ears That hear no sound and make me stare into the ground [Verse 3] Aching muscles, puff and pant, I run To stagger home and hide behind my mum But even when I'm safely in my bed I know that he is waiting in my head [Chorus] I wonder if he's 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 don't seem aware Don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
