Oooh lately when I'm talking I've been talking to myself
My friends say they don't notice but they do 'cause I can tell
I wake up mad every morning and I go to bed mad at night
My mind ain't functioning poorly but it sure ain't feeling right
No it sure ain't feeling right
(chorus)
Paranoia
I feel you creeping through my soul yeah
Paranoia
I feel you taking complete control oh
Paranoia
You got me running all the time paranoia
Paranoia
Oh what a pitiful state of mind
I went to see my doctor I told him I'd been feeling blue
He shook his head and simply said ain't nothing 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
(chorus)
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
No I can't remember when it's ever been this bad
But lately I've had 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 my rear view mirror
