Wake up in the night
Get up, turn on the light
Go outside pick up my shovel
Keep telling me there'll be trouble
There's a cat in a cathedral
Swiping its claw in the vestibule
Sitting in a bloody gloom
They're evil buggers, they think it's really cool

Tell me how do I get where you are?
Is it easy if you don't make it hard?
Should I rather just let it all go?
Bang the drum with the chicken bone

Fear eats the soul
Oh yeah
And all your tears of sorrow

Turn off the light, check the locks
Where have all my buddies gone?
You know what I'm most afraid of
Finding out what I'm really made of
Fire engines come
Try to put me out
But no one is getting in tonight

Tell me how do I get where you are?
Is it easy if you don't make it hard?
Sit in my chair and I smile
Sit in my chair and I cry

Fear eats the soul
Oh yeah
And all your tears of sorrow
Yeah, yeah, y'know

Fear eats the soul, oh yeah
Fear eats the soul, oh yeah
This is what you must know
If you don't let it go
It's a spiritual black hole
Fear eats the soul
Fear eats the soul
And all your tears of sorrow
