Oh could it really be that I am to pretend That the sky is a brilliant blue? When I see a fog linger over you Am I to exclude this hideous truth? That we're all slowly dying Drinking from the fountain of youth
My hands are trembling And my nerves have lost all of their feeling, yeah
I am paranoid I'm scared of you and I always will be There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this I am paranoid I'm scared of you and I always will be There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this
Oh, high up in the trees, Do the birds sing of peace? While bullets rip the sky for wars with idiots and guns Am I to adhere for the fears we hold so dear? It aches within our hearts As we stuff our shopping carts
My knees are caving in From the weight of our insanity and sin, yeah
I am paranoid I'm scared of you and I always will be There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this I am paranoid I'm scared of you and I always will be There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this
We see the world in tunnel vision Yeah, it's true I wanna Close my eyes and dream of a place without you Seems like everybody's losing their minds Am I losing mine?
I am paranoid I'm scared of you and I always will be There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this I am paranoid I'm scared of them and I always will be There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this Oh...
