Paranoid - Steve Gunn

Step into the water, throw it like a thing

It’s a thing that swings

In the waves and the sun, it’s a pendulum

Refracting gold bloom

A hand-drawn map provides the facts

And gives the reason that you’ll come back

There’s a glass you break just out past the dunes

Shapeless face among the weeds

The walkers sigh, your mother cries

They can’t say a thing but they know what’s on your mind

Sit and wait, the landscape looks so different than

Your photobooks, it’s grabbing me, yeah such offense

The song he sings, it’s called «Paranoid»

They just made it up, it’s his favorite word

Not sure what it means, but it’s what he believes

And it’s coming from nowhere at all

Step into the water, throw it like a thing

It’s a thing that swings

In the waves and the sun, it’s a pendulum

Refracting gold bloom

A hand-drawn map provides the facts

And gives the reason that you’ll come back

There’s a glass you break just out past the dunes

Shapeless face among the weeds

The walkers sigh, your mother cries

They can’t say a thing but they know what’s on your mind

Sit and wait, the landscape looks so different than

Your photobooks, it’s grabbing me, yeah such offense

The song he sings, it’s called «Paranoid»

They just made it up, it’s his favorite word

Not sure what it means, but it’s what he believes

And it’s coming from nowhere at all
