I am a man who walks alone

And when I'm walking a dark road

At night or strolling through the park



When the light begins to fade

I sometimes feel a little strange

A little anxious when it's dark.



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there



Have you run your fingers down the wall

And have you felt your neck skin crawl

When you're searching for the light 

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look

At the corner of the room

You've sensed that something's watching you.



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there



Have you ever been alone at night

Through your heard footsteps behind

And turned around and no-one's there 

And as you quicken up your pace

You find it hard to look again

Because you're sure there's someone there



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark



Watching horror films the night before

Debating witches and folklore

The unknown troubles on your mind

Maybe your mind is playing tricks

You sense, and suddenly eyes fix

On dancing shadows from behind



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there



Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a constant fear that something's always near

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there



When I'm walking a dark road

I am a man who walks alone
