Night hits hard like an old dirty friend
You get the wine and the beer and the song in your head
And you can't explain exactly what this feeling is
Dawn breaks, you can feel in your eyes
In your heart, in your head, in your fears, in your thighs
And the chemicals don't quite make you feel right
Sweet fear, my dear, you come on like a bullet
You get up and you put it aside
There's a ring in your ears and a sting in your eyes
And you're walking away from this divine design
And all things get too mellow
And all the part time days
And you can't help think that you've just done the same
In the light and the night and the traces
Flash of armour in each passing face
All these thoughts that you thought that you hated
You think this is it, this is it, the end
And the enemy sites
You think of long bristling times
Waking up pent up and tired
As the hairs stand end to end
Sweet fear, my dear, you come on like a bullet
