Lyrics
SMALL TOWN PARANOIA
Something crazy is happening,
looking out for the cat on the balcony!
A dark figure's hunched in the corner,
like the scary bum with the box
in that useless flick.
He keeps staring, dead silent
Inexpressive, black painted face
So scared
He’s creeping me out!
Keep calm
Yes he creeps me out!
I feel my breath dying,
chest aches, it's on fire
He creeps me out!
Those weird eyes
Paralyzed, I pray
it's a dream
It turns out to be a fantasy,
as I wake up dazed
it’s a sudden epiphany
The cat’s purring on the pillow
Black coffee, scrambled eggs and cheese
So tired
and then out in the cold air
Sleep tight
I plan the vacations,
stepping out across the lawn
I smile and wave to my neighbors,
so proud of such a nice and cozy place
Insane!
He’s driving the empty
bus I’m used to take.
Trapped in a nightmare
looping in my brain:
A dream in a dream
which creeps me out!
My breath dies,
chest aches, it's on fire
He creeps me out
Those weird eyes
Praying for a dream
in a dream
