Lyrics
Everybody's out to get me
Everybody's on my case
I see vengefulness and malice
There in every strangers face
Oh, paranoia blues got me scared as I can be
I'm waiting 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
Trying to make a stand against
These bitter winds that blow
Trying to still that voice inside
That's eating 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 higher
Oh, paranoia blues got it's foot down on my neck
I'm swinging for the fences
Every time I hit the deck
Standing 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 living in the dark
