I'm Scared - Burton Cummings

I could make you scared, if you want me to I'm not prepared, but if I have to He said, "I can make you scared, it's kind of what I do If you're prepared, here's what I propose to do" You're in Russia, and more than a million works of art Are whisked out to the woods But when the Nazis find the whole place dark They'll think God's left the museum for good I can make you scared, if that's what I do If you're prepared, if I have to If I make you scared, and you pay me to That's the deal, now here's what I can do for you Now there's a focus group that can prove This is all nothing but cold calculation Tests have shown that suspicious are hostile Their lives need not be shortened Truth be told, they can live a long, long while Tickled to death by their importance So if you make me scared, if that's what you do If I'm unclear, can I get out of this thing with me and you If you feel scared, and a bit confused I gotta say, "This sounds a little beyond anything I'm used to" There's a precious few that can prove that at the root This is all nothing but cold calculation Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now Defanged destroyer limps into the bay Down at the beach, it's attracting quite a crowd As kids wade through the blood out to it to play Okay, you made me scared, you did what you set out to do I'm not prepared, you really had me going there for a minute or two He said, "You made me scared too, I wasn't sure I was getting through" I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you

When nothings going to change why you standing still Nothing ever did nothing ever will You're never going to know if you don't ask why You'll never get to heaven if you're scared to fly But if you close your eyes you may see And if you just let go you'll be free For nothing begins when you're holding your breath You're never going to swim with a weight in your chest No nothing ever came from waiting in line No heaven never waited for the perfect time But if you close your eyes you may see And if you just let go you'll be free And if you hear your heart Listen to the wind in the trees Singing oooooooh Oooh-ooh-ooooh Oooooooh Oooh-ooh-ooooh Oooooooh Oooh-ooh-ooooh

When I saw the signs, I should've let you go But I kept you beside me And if I held you back, at least I held you close Should have known you were lonely I know things will never be the same Time we lost will never be replaced I'm the reason you forgot to love So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again No, don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again You always miss the chance to fall for someone else 'Cause your heart only knows me They try to win your love, but there was nothing left They just made you feel lonely I am not the man I used to be Did some things I couldn't let you see Refused to be the one who taints your heart So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again No, don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again I hope you know that I hope you know that I've been praying that you find yourself I hope you know that I hope you know that We fell apart, right from the start I should have made you my only When it's said and done So don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again I said don't be scared to live again Be scared to live again I hope you know that I hope you know that I've been praying that you find yourself I hope you know that I hope you know that We fell apart, right from the start

Oh, did I say something wrong? Oh, did I walk out of step? To you, do I still belong? Do I have to be scared? Oh, I'm not saying I know, it's all feeling unclear We all like control, I surrender to you, dear You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own scene Hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we used to believe There's something I should've known? Was I acting too proud? Oh, in my weakness, did I somehow get too loud? Oh, can I get you alone? Oh, let me fall at your feet Why must I be compelled to admit defeat? Oh, you're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we were our own scene Hurting yourself, nothing to tell Your secret is well and safe with me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to crash, we used to believe I hear the voices calling, hear the voices calling All around my head, all around my head Hear the voices calling, oh, again they're calling All around my head, have I lost my friend? Is this what we've become? Oh, one last setting sun I'll give, but I can't give up, I'll live, not long enough To stop these voices calling, stop the voices calling All around my head, as if you never left You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me We used to laugh, we used to sing We used to dance, we had our own scene Hurting yourself, it's plain to see I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me We used to laugh, we used to dream We used to dance, we used to believe
