Waves of fear
(written by Lou Reed)

das ganze Lied: C G D G (außer an zwei Stellen)

Waves of fear, attack in the night
waves of revulsion, sickening sights
My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight

D                     D
Waves of fear, waves of fear

Waves of fear, squat on the floor
looking for some pill, the liquor is gone
Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe
waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave

Waves of fear, waves of fear
waves of fear, waves of fear

G
I'm too afraid to use the phone
G
I'm too afraid to put the light on
G
I'm so afraid I've lost control
G
I'm suffocating without a word

Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw
what's that funny noise, what's that on the floor
Waves of fear, pulsing with death
I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step
I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell
I know where I must be, I must be in hell

Waves of fear, waves of fear
waves of fear, waves of fear
