Paranoia promenade

Early morning phone-call
just before the bloody fall
is anybody listening in
to the cues you're missing
people looking at you funny
so the afternoon tho' sunny
has that certain feeling
that sinister meaning

        going down the penny arcade
        plainclothes standing in the shade
        going down the penny arcade
        for your paranoia promenade

rest easy boy, rest easy
why the hell you're feeling queasy ?
keep your hands from shaking
ain't no evil in the making
creepy voice in the receiver
the game's up you best believe it
something 's gone wrong
right away they'll be along

    refr.
