What if I don't need debating

If I'm not healed by negotiating

If I don't need to be a shooting star

If I don't need a fast car



If nothing changes when I whine and moan

If no one cares if I pay my loan

What if I shake hands with doom

Or thrash another hotelroom



What if the sky is always moonlit

When it all comes down to it

And no trillion zillion dollars

Can break those chains and collars



What if love's just methadon

If the battle's already won

If I'm clean or in a purple haze

If my sleeves don't hide an ace



Don't be afraid



What if there's no Cayman sunshine

To make me believe I'm fine

What if I'm stuck in immigration

And the train just left the station



What if you think I think I'm Davy Crockett

If I'm caught with bullets in my pocket

What if I read in a crystal ball

That I better put an end to it all



Don't be afraid
