Things That Scare Me

by Ed's Redeeming Qualities

on More Bad Times (1990)

Get back on the camel
It's a small, small leap
She said, I can't, I'm made of straw
It's a bumpy ride, and if I fall, I'm down for weeks

And the voice said:
I hold the camera
I'm the king of the weeks
Why do you wear your face like that?
She said, I don't want to know what you mean

Here are the things that scare you
I am your urge to sleep
She said, I got to call a friend
And run, you run, you run, you run…

Here are the things that scare me
And I'll meet you if you dare me
And I'll bring the things that scare me
Cause I love them. Out my window
Out my window, boats are drowning
My head hears sounds of loud things
And the loud things always scare me
So, I don't think I can stay for long.

And the voice said:
Nah, nah, you thought that was good
Nah, nah, you thought that would last
Nah, nah, you thought that was good
Nah, nah, you thought that would last

She said, you're the cutest
And you bore me.
You're a fine one to talk

Look out the window
She sees her own face on the moon
It's dark outside
The house is on
The TV's on
The TV's off
The house is off
It's light inside
Oh, run, you run, you run
You run, you run…

Oh, don't think you can scare me
Don't think you can scare me
Don't think you can scare me
Don't think you can…

You're the things that scare me
And I'll meet you if you dare me
And I'll bring the things that scare me
Cause I love them. Out my window
Out my window, boats are drowning
My head hears sounds of loud things
And the loud things always scare me
So I don't think I can stay for long.

And the voice said:
Nah, nah, you thought that was good
Nah, nah, you thought that would last
Nah, nah, you thought that was good
Nah, nah, you thought that would last
