Johnny Full of Fear

John Taylor

[Verse 1]
He's walking on the wall (He's walking on the wall)
Cause he's heard it all before (Cause he's heard it all before)
He'd laugh it off, if he could (He'd laugh it off, if he could)
But his glasses might fall off (But his glasses might fall off)
The madman's at the door (The madman's at the door)
Whispering through the floor (Whispering through the floor)
Sordid times in life before (Sordid times in life before)
Will keep him from flying once more (Will keep him from flying once more)

[Chorus]
Johnny full of fear (Johnny full of fear)
He's hanging on a thread
Don't be afraid of the dark (Johnny full of fear)
Don't be afraid of what you are
Johnny is learning, to feed, to fear (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

[Verse 2]
He's whacking in time (He's whacking in time)
'Cause his wife gave him some room ('Cause his wife gave him some room)
Now he's up to neck in debt (Now he's up to neck in debt)
And his partner's blown a fuse (And his partner's blown a fuse)
Well he sits still for a minute (Well he sits still for a minute)
While he's waiting for some credit (While he's waiting for some credit)
The property's in ruins (The property's in ruins)
But the suit is good and shiny (But the suit is good and shiny)

[Chorus]
Johnny full of fear (Johnny full of fear)
He's hanging on a thread
Don't be afraid of the dark (Johnny full of fear)
Don't be afraid of what you are
Johnny is learning, to feed, to fear (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

[Bridge]
The messenger (The messenger)
The messenger of fortune (The messenger)
He's the messenger (The messenger)
He's the messenger (The messenger)

[Verse 3]
He's alone most nights now (He's alone most nights now)
More often than not (More often than not)
He's too much time to think (He's too much time to think)
Gives his committee too much room (Gives his committee too much room)
He's thinking of expanding (He's thinking of expanding)
Taking on responsibilities (Taking on responsibilities)
I'm, in all, in favor of it (I'm, in all, in favor of it)
I'll encourage him every chance I get (I'll encourage him every chance I get)

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny full, ull of fear
