I am a man who works alone
And when I'm working in MS Word
At night or scrolling through bookmarks
When the font begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's marked

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have constant fear that something can get clear
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have a phobia that Del can be pressed there

Have you run your fingers doing scroll
And have you felt you're marking all
When you're searching for a site?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At what you are supposed to do
You've sensed that someone's marking you

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have constant fear that something can get clear
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have a phobia that Del can be pressed there

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard keypress behind
And turned around and mark is there?
And as you tried to press Escape
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure all there is clear

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have constant fear that something can get clear
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have a phobia that Del can be pressed there

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark, fear of the mark, fear of the mark
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark, fear of the mark, fear of the mark

Watching debug logs the night before
Destroying glitches and backdoors
And other troubles of this kind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On cursor marking all behind

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have constant fear that something can get clear
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have a phobia that Del can be pressed there

Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have constant fear that something can get clear
Fear of the mark, fear of the mark
I have a phobia that Del can be pressed there

And when I'm working in MS Word
I am a man who works alone
