Waves of Fear Songtext
von Lou Reed

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


I'm too afraid to use the phone
I'm too afraid to put the light on
I′m so afraid I′ve lost control
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 at 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
