Paranoia Lyrics by Klaatu

Endangered Species

1980

Ooh, lately when I'm talkin', I've been talkin' to myself
My friends say they don't notice, but they do 'cause I can tell
I wake up mad every mornin' an' I go to bed mad at night
My mind ain't functioning poorly but it sure ain't feelin' right
No, it sure ain't feelin' right

I went to see my doctor, I told him I'd been feelin' blue
He shook his head and simply said, "Ain't nothin' he could do"
Well my head aches with apprehension
'Til I can't take any more pain
If I don't get some attention soon I think I'll go insane
Yes, I think I'll go insane

Paranoia, I feel you creepin' through my soul, yeah
Paranoia, I feel you taking complete control, oh
Paranoia, you got me runnin' all the time, paranoia
Paranoia, oh what a pitiful state of mind

Don't know how long I've been this way
My mind is so confused
It seems the whole world's after me
No matter what I do

[Instrumental Solo]

No, I can't remember when it's ever been this bad
But lately I've felt feelings that I never knew I had
Delusions of persecution haunt me, my one companion is fear
And there's always someone behind me
When I check my rear-view mirror
I'd better check your rear-view mirror

Paranoia, I feel you creepin' through my soul, yeah
Paranoia, I feel you taking complete control, oh
Paranoia, you got me runnin' all the time, paranoia
Paranoia, oh what a pitiful state of mind

Paranoia, I feel you creepin' through my soul, yeah
Paranoia, I feel you taking complete control, oh
Paranoia, you got me runnin' all the time, paranoia
Paranoia, oh what a pitiful state of mind
