Fear (Of The Unknown) - Siouxsie And The Banshees

I get the feeling -- I’m not alone

I get the feeling -- it’s someone I don’t know

Do you ever have the strange sensation

when you’re standing mighty tall

to jump from 17 floors and crash into freefall

but then fear takes control -- fear of the unknown

Imagine two complete strangers

who suspect they were meant to be both in need of love and affection

yet their suspicions prevent something heavenly

Fear takes control -- fear of the unknown

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

We all get the strangest feeling

when we’re standing mighty tall

to jump from 17 floors and crash into freefall

but then fear carries all -- fear of the unknown

fear takes its toll -- fear of the unknown

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
