Scaredy Cat from PROsody by The Fire Brigade

Taking your time
Looking all the way back, Jack
Trying to find
Where it went off the MAX track
Made up your mind
Out of fear of the knapsack
Not to be unkind
But for lack of information

Apprehension hesitation
For your place in the trife life
Select an occupation
Requisition a nice wife
You base your destination
On the man with the pied fife
I feel no elation
And assign no blame

Our fears are different styles
But we're losing the same game
With too many miles
On our deluded lame brains
Coming at you all smiles
Not to brag or to claim fame
But to share strength
On our uphill climbs

You wrestle with regret
When you’re past your prime
But I never can forget
All my ghastly crimes
Offering my hand
In the darkest times
Do you fell the terror?
No... well only sometimes


Spiders crawl
Spaces small
Heights most tall

Feel your fear
Hold you near
I love you, dear

One and same
Seeking fame
Hiding shame

Time is lost
At what cost?
Double cross


You’re frozen like a pillar caught up in Medusa's stare
You showed up in a nightmare all at school in underwear
They always love to gamble
Synthesized lives taking photos while they prance
Absolute conviction, but they never take a chance
Only destination is deleted by distraction
Never manufacture consternation into action
(it) figures that this story puts us all in the same faction


I was scared of everything
When I was just a tyke
Scared to be alone
Scared to ride a bike
I was scared of my shadow
Scared of my thoughts
Scared of shrinks trying to make me
What I was not

Then I was the wittiest retard
With the grittiest teeth
And the shittiest skateboard
On the whole Venice Beach
But I teach myself
To make the prettiest speech
And beseech the sweet stars
While the idiots preach

Cause I was more scared to stay inside
Than race the streets
More scared to run and hide
Than to face defeat
Won’t eat the apple
If the seeds are rotten
And I’d rather be despised
Than to be forgotten


Spiders crawl
Spaces small
Heights most tall

Feel your fear
Hold you near
I love you, dear

One and same
Seeking fame
Hiding shame

Time is lost
At what cost?
Double cross
