Destroyer (alt. version taken from acetate) Songtext
von The Kinks

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feeling guilty, feeling scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on, stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me
But I′m really not as cool as I'd like to be
′Cause there's a red under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there′s a true blue inside of me
That keeps stopping me, touching ya, watching ya, loving ya

Paranoia, the destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feeling kinda queer
Lola looked at me and said, "Ooh, you look so weird"
She said, "Man, there′s really something wrong with you
One day you're gonna self-destruct"
You′re up, you're down, I can′t work you out
You get a good thing going, then you blow yourself out

Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Silly boy, ya self-destroyer


Silly boy, you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure, you self-destroyer

(And it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer

Doctor, doctor, help me please, I know you′ll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin′ man

There′s a red under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "You′re not going crazy, you're just a bit sad
′Cause there's a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two"

Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy your friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption


(Yeah, yeah, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here′s to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Hey, hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)

Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)
