Madness Shadow of Fear song lyrics

I walk through Camden town in the evening

strolling silently and hardly breathing

Footsteps behind me slightly quicker

the corner of my eye a shadowy flicker

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight

Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware

don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair

Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse

I feel him brewing up an evil curse

I sense a chill creep up my spine

I want to scream but only whine

because I know it can't be true

mind's gone now legs it's up to you

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware

don't want to get involved in my spititual affair

I try to accept him as my partner.

He still makes cold his manic laughter

But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears

and makes no sound he stirs them to the ground

Acheing muscles, puff and pant I run

To stagger home and hide behind my mum

But even when I'm safely in my bed

I know that he is waiting in my head

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight

Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight

I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware

don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair
