The Fall - PARANOIA MAN IN CHEAP SH*T ROOM lyrics

Paranoid man

In mid 30s

at the height of paranoia

at the zenith of his powers

By bed, replica shooter

zenith dissolving

by his bed replica shooter

in the zenith of his powers

When girls pass, puts his head down, in the street

His neighbors now are listening to this

Shakes in the chemist's

While buying his vits

Puts his head down

when girls pass in the street

Shakes in the chemist

Paranoid man in his late 30s

32, 45

Reaches its summit

Male, mid 30s, white, paranoia

Goes down to the dance

Going down fast.

No heebies, creepies

or hallucinogenics

It's the height of paranoia

Male, white, mid-to-late 30s

Serial Number 54129

Going down to the dance

Going down fast

Leather jacket, baggy black pants

Very clever

Not as good as it was at 2:30

this afternoon

Nostalgia

Spangles

Late to mid 30s

Goes down to the dance

and drooped mental inertia

Mid 30s man in the grip of paranoia

Just like I told ya

Prefers karaoka.

Cheap shit half-dollar man

The sky calendar,

bar, home,

speculates.
