Destroyer - The Kinks

Met a girl called Lola, and I took her back to my place

Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere

Stop!

Hold on, stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me

But I’m really not as cool as I’d like to be

'Cause there’s a red under my bed

And there’s a little yellow man in my head

And there’s a true blue inside of me

That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

Paranoia, the destroyer

Paranoia, the destroyer

Well, I fell asleep, then I woke, feelin' kinda queer

Lola looked at me and said, «Ooh, you look so weird»

She said, «Man, there’s really something wrong with you

One day you’re gonna self-destruct

You’re up, you’re down, I can’t work you out

You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out

Silly boy, you self-destroyer

Silly boy, you self-destroyer

Silly boy, you got so much to live for

So much to aim for, so much to try for

You’re blowing it all with paranoia

You’re so insecure, you self-destroyer"

(And it goes like this, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Here it goes again)

Paranoia, the destroyer

Doctor, doctor help me please, I know you will understand

There’s a time device inside of me, I’m a self-destructin' man

There’s a red under my bed

And there’s a little green man in my head

And he said, «You're not goin' crazy, you’re just a bit sad

'Cause there’s a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two»

Silly boy, you self-destroyer

Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health

Destroy your friends, destroy yourself

The time device of self-destruction

Light the fuse and start eruption, yeah

(Yeah, it goes like this, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Here's to paranoia)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(Hey hey, here it goes)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(And it goes like this)

Paranoia, the destroyer

(And it goes like this)
