Mansun - Check Under The Bed lyrics

You see my fear looks like laughter

That's why you'll never hear me scream

And I'm learning to rule in my simian shoes

Tradition has absorbed the sickest things

(another fear looks like laughter)

And they're grabbing with paws

Somewhere I am not safe

In their animal's place

Claustrophobia maze

Ideology faked for a simian race

Trip me up

I become a nervous wreck

Put me in a padded cage

And I call it my domain

With my shoelace trip me up

I become a nervous wreck

Put me in a padded cage

And I call it my domain

I know my fear looks like laughter

That's why you'll never see me scream

And I'm learning to rule in my simian shoes

Tradition has absorbed the sickest things

(another fear looks like laughter)
