lyrics

PARANOIA PAYS OFF

I'll try and get your attention
So I can clear my name
I know you don't care
‘Cause I've seen my picture
On your dartboard

Bleed without pain
You're always so violent
La la despite your face

I'll try to
Understand the words
You yell at me
I've simply become
Someone you abhor

Have you discovered
You need to change your ways
When out in the open
A sense of direction
Just fades away

You've never been sorry for a thing you've said
Never been sorry for a thing you've said
Never been sorry for a thing you've said
Never been sorry for a thing you've said
Never been sorry for a thing you've said
You’ve never been sorry for a thing you've said
No, you’ve never been sorry for a thing you've said
At all, et al

(Have I told you there something I can take from you, will take from you)

It's just decent to wait a while
Before you go and make a fool of me
You break through with a crescent smile
Gotta plan ahead for broken teeth

It's too late to defend yourself
I saw you laying down
Beside the things we'd never talk about
But go on believing

So my paranoia’s paying off
My paranoia.

—-Segue (extended) version—-
I've been to all the places
I never felt I’d ever be calling home
I’ve stayed at all the places
I never felt I'd ever be calling home
Calling home.
