Kinks - Destroyer 1981

Kinks - Destroyer 1981

Met a girl called lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin guilty, feelin scared, hidden cameras
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 true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin me, touchin you, watchin ya, lovin you
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, theres really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna self-destruct.
You're up, you're down, I cant 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 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

Dr. dr. help me please, I know you'll 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 you
knowing you, tearing you 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, it goes like this, here it goes
Paranoia, the destroyer

Paranoia, the destroyer
Hey hey, here it goes
Paranoia, the destroyer
And it goes like this

Paranoia, the destroyer
And it goes like this.
