Verse 1 Dazed and confused, she played with my mind And all I wanted was a hand to hold I came to the table to play a little Hearts She was already reading fortunes in the cards she’d been told Simple is my speed Just plant the seed and let it grow But every little shadow turned into a storm Every question into something she thought she oughta know Chorus Fear, fear, fear Lord, I hate that fear It’ll take a good thing And make it disappear It whispers in the darkness Till the truth can’t be found Fear don’t build nothin’ It just burns it to the ground Verse 2 She was a conspiracy from the very first date A detective searching for a crime Found me guilty with the very first thought And convicted me before my time I had some friends who didn’t like her much And she feared what she couldn’t control But love ain’t a prison and it ain’t a chain You can’t own another soul Chorus Fear, fear, fear Lord, I hate that fear It’ll poison every promise Till the ending’s crystal clear It takes a little doubt And lets the darkness steer Fear don’t kill you quickly It just slowly disappears Bridge I loved that girl Lord, I loved her deep Deeper than I’ve loved before But sometimes a square peg won’t fit No matter how hard you push it through the door You can fight for love You can pray for love You can give it all you’ve got But sometimes love ain’t enough When fear keeps callin’ every shot Guitar Break Final Chorus Fear, fear, fear The oldest thief around Stealin’ all the good things Before they can be found Hate, anger, jealousy Runnin’ hand in hand Another day in the dime store Of self-destruction’s land Outro So I folded up my cards And laid ’em on the table Watched her disappear back into the mist Sometimes that’s just life Sometimes that’s just love And sometimes… You gotta say… Go Fish. Back into the pond you go.
