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
