Paranoia Blues
Everybody's out to get me, everybody's on my case
I see vengefulness and malice there in every stranger's face
Oh, paranoia blues got me scared as I can be
I'm waitin' for the devil to pull the rug from under me
I found another member for the club of deadly sins
I'm a slave to indecision and the misery it brings
Oh, paranoia blues keep on playing with my head
Gotta keep my master happy, gotta keep that monster fed
Tryna make a stand against these bitter winds that blow
Tryna still that voice inside that's eatin' at my soul
Last night, I dreamt I woke up, and the whole house was on fire
I couldn't move a muscle, I just watched the flames grow high
Oh, paranoia blues got its foot down on my neck
I'm swingin' for the fences every time I hit the deck
Standin' in the midnight forest looking for the moon
I thought I had the answer, but I reached for it too soon
Even when I'm happy, I don't trust the way I feel
'Cause every little piece of joy, my old friend's out to steal
Oh, paranoia blues got a chain around my heart
It's hard to see a future when you're livin' in the dark
I see vengefulness and malice there in every stranger's face
Oh, paranoia blues got me scared as I can be
I'm waitin' for the devil to pull the rug from under me
I found another member for the club of deadly sins
I'm a slave to indecision and the misery it brings
Oh, paranoia blues keep on playing with my head
Gotta keep my master happy, gotta keep that monster fed
Tryna make a stand against these bitter winds that blow
Tryna still that voice inside that's eatin' at my soul
Last night, I dreamt I woke up, and the whole house was on fire
I couldn't move a muscle, I just watched the flames grow high
Oh, paranoia blues got its foot down on my neck
I'm swingin' for the fences every time I hit the deck
Standin' in the midnight forest looking for the moon
I thought I had the answer, but I reached for it too soon
Even when I'm happy, I don't trust the way I feel
'Cause every little piece of joy, my old friend's out to steal
Oh, paranoia blues got a chain around my heart
It's hard to see a future when you're livin' in the dark
