You love me because you're frightened

and I'm falling in love with you

because I'm getting frightened

of the things you somehow make me do

you love me because you're frightened

I can easily believe my eyes

your fear is my finest hour

my fear is your disguise

Look what fear's done to my body

A frightening world

is an interesting world to be in

in the Forbidden City

or on The Roof of the World

or at the receiving end

of the nine o'clock news

however you put your mind to it

you can find fear where you choose

Look what fear's done to my body

You want to hurt

you want to crave

you want to praise and curse and blame

you want to believe just what you like

then you want to hurt and crave again

They took you to the top of the mountain

they showed you the valley

you bought it

you couldn't wait, could you!

Look what fear's done to my body

You want to hurt ...
