How come you say you will and then you won't

you change your mind and then you say you don't

The mystery is why I play the goat

the mystery you call love



Sometimes you're like an eagle strong like a rock

other times it seems you get unlocked

And all your worst fears come tumbling out

into the street, into the snow



I remember when you had a dream

everything was what it seemed to be

But now nightmares replace everything

and everything you see is wrong



You said we'd meet but you're two hours late

you said you thought someone had picked your gate

So you hid and were afraid to wait

seeing shadows in the snow

Seeing shadows in the snow



Now your friend Godfrey is a perfect choice

one minute down next time rejoice, he seems -

- To have found the perfect voice

Let's say everything he says is true

you love me but I cheat on you

And in my bedroom is a female zoo

worse then Clinton in prime time



I swear to you I'm not with Jill or Joyce

or Cyd or Sherry or Darlene or worse

I'm not kissing you while inside I curse

paranoia key of E



Let's play a game the next time we meet, ah

I'll be the hands and you be the feet

And together we will keep the beat

to paranoia key of E



Now, you know mania's in the key of B

psychosis in the key of C

Let's hope that we're not meant to be

in paranoia key of E



Anorexia is in G flat

and F is anything I've left out

Dyslexia, kleptomania and vertigo

patricide A, matricide D the same schizos



Paranoia key of E



Let's have a coda in the key of K

something that only we can play

Maybe we'll light up li
