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 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' kind of queer.
Lola looked at me and said, "Oooh, 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 blowin' 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'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 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!
This song is from the album "Give the People What They Want" and "Come Dancing: The Best Of The Kinks 1977-1986".
