Written by Kevin Bacon       "Kind of exploring the role that fear plays in my life. Thanks to Trav for the cool lick." KB       She'll wake you in the morning    As she fills your head at night    She'll drop by, without warning    Just when you thought you were doing all right       You think she's far away in California    But she has never been so near       Mother fear       She was there the day you turned your cheek    She led you from the fight    She was in your throat, when you couldn't speak    She sings harmony tonight    She knew just were you lived    She brought the sedatives    She brought the whiskey and the beer       Mother fear, Mother fear, Mother fear       That peaceful feeling's so deceiving    You check the kids to see they're breathing       And as you watch your house come tumbling down    She stands beside you in the rubble    She'll be the first to recognize the sound    Of the bursting of the bubble       And as you prance and pose    In your new emperor's clothes    She'll get the crowd to laugh and cheer    And here she comes       Mother fear, Mother fear    Year after year after year
