Hey neighbor let me give you some advice 
The Russians are about to pulverize us 
In our sleep tonight 
That is if the crazy Arabs 
Or the riots don't get us first 
And the fire will rain down from the sky 
The fire will rain down from the sky 
People will die--People will die 
People will die--People will die 
But go ahead sleep tight in your beds 
Remember what the wise man said 

CHORUS 
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear 
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear 
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself) 
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself) 
And the temperature's starting to drop now 
The temperature's starting to drop now 
The temperature's starting to drop now . . . 

Hey little girl won't you come this way 
Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake 
Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss 
Or perhaps a ride in my big car 
Perhaps a ride in my big car 
Won't you make an old man happy 
Won't you make an old man happy 
Won't you let me show you paradise 
(Don't ask your mother for advice) 

CHORUS 

If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street 
If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning Jesus freak 
If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out 
If they don't take away your passion with a color TV set 
They'll take away your heart and soul 
They'll take away your heart and soul 
They'll take away your heart and soul 
Don't let them take away your heart and soul 
But remember what the wise man said 

CHORUS
