Paranoia Blues Songtext
von Jon Allen

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
