Name: I Got the Fear
Duration: P00H02M57S
Description: A panic attack in a time of high anxiety, comforted away by a gentle soul. And yet, surprisingly, one of the poppier tunes. One of my better guitar solos on the album. When we played this at the Atomic Cowboy last spring, Eric Moore tore UP those drum breaks in the choruses!

lyrics

sickroom, sickroom, white on white
Sunday afternoon
praying for deliverance
preparing for my doom
who is watching over me
is she some kind of nurse
why do I feel better
when I know I'm getting worse

I got the fear, I got the fear
lost inside my head
lost inside this bed
lost inside another drama

panic, panic, grey on grey
existential dread
what is all this background noise
that's rumblin' thru my head
who is watching over me
to judge my every move
why do I keep acting
like I've got something to prove

I got the fear, I got the fear
lost inside my head
lost inside this bed
lost inside another drama

tell me why
I can't cry
show me how
I could use it right now

sickroom, sickroom, white on white
Sunday afternoon
someone write my epitaph
upon a white balloon
take it to the highest point
that's reasonably near
let it float to heaven
as reminder I was here

I got the fear, I got the fear
lost inside my head
lost inside this bed
lost inside another drama

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
