Baby can you feel it coming?
Is it shaking down through your bones?
A melody you can't stop humming
Destruction in the strangest tones
Nothing really makes it better
When every day's an open wound
It's relative to what you'd weather
But the final part's out of tune
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Paranoid thoughts take awhile, take awhile
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Gonna be gone for awhile, for awhile now
Darling can you hear the sirens?
Do they wake you when you're trying to sleep?
Loyalty directives in your wiring
A promise that you couldn't keep
Nothing here will lead to reason
Enlightenment or true beliefs
Not everyone can purge their demons
In fact it's looking pretty bleak
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Paranoid thoughts take awhile, take awhile
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Gonna be gone for awhile, for awhile now
One two three, won't you look at me?
Won't you look at me? Won't you look at me?
Four five six, what a lovely trick
What a lovely trick, now it makes me sick
Choking down the apathy, it isn't what we have to be
Now, now, now, now, now!
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Paranoid thoughts take awhile, take awhile now
Paranoid thoughts little child, little child
Gonna be gone for awhile, for awhile
Gonna be gone for awhile, for awhile
Gonna be gone for awhile, for awhile
One two three, won't you look at me?
Won't you look at me? Won't you look at me?
