Oingo Boingo - I'm Afraid lyrics

Afraid of the dark

Afraid of the light

Don't walk in the park

Afraid of the night

Afraid to get stabbed

Or hit by a car

Afraid of the streets

Afraid to go far

Afraid of the sky

Don't like to be high

I don't want to fall

Afraid I might die

Afraid of my friends

Don't like to be seen

Afraid to be nice

Afraid to be mean

Afraid that the wind

Will knock over trees

Afraid of my dog

Afraid of his fleas

[chorus]

Peace of mind

Hard to keep

Hard to find

Look ahead

Look behind

Looking for

Peace of mind

Can't relax

Can't unwind

Deep inside

Secret mind

Oh no!

Afraid to be caught

Afraid to be free

Afraid to make love

Afraid of vd

Afraid of the rain

Don't like to get wet

Afraid to take drugs

They make me forget

Afraid that the air

Will make me get sick

Afraid that a girl

Will cut off my....oh!

Someone tell me how it happened

Why my head is so confused

Can it be my circuits finally blew a fuse

Can a human being really change into a humanoid

Or is my imagination paranoid

All I need is peace and quietmaybe just a little time

Turn the channelturn the channel piece of mind

[repeat chorus]

Afraid of success

Afraid to grow old

Afraid that my brain

Is covered with mold

Afraid that I might

Ce put on a shelf

But that's not the leastohoh!

Afraid of myself
