[Verse]

The houses around me

Are filled with people who panic

They hear the noise and the static

And then we all become frantic

We hear the omens and legends

We're praising gold and our pleasures

We're looking over our shoulders

Pretend we got it together

[Pre-Chorus]

Draw the blinds

Check under your bed

Hide your gold

And hold your breath

Feel the ghost

In your chest

Check your pulse

You're scared to death

[Chorus]

Para, paranoia

You know what's coming for ya

Venom in your blood

And there's no one here to warn ya

Para, paranoia

You've been here before

Ya can lock up all your doors

But there's a phantom in your foyer

Para, paranoia

Para, paranoia

Para, paranoia

[Verse]

Controlled by the tension

That's taking all our attention

Too busy with expectations

We're losing all our convictions

[Pre Chorus]

Draw the blinds

Check under your bed

Hide your gold

And hold your breath

Feel the ghost

In your chest

Check your pulse

You're scared to death

[Chorus]

Para, paranoia

You know what's coming for ya

Venom in your blood

And there's no one here to warn ya

Para paranoia

You've been here before

Ya can lock up all your doors

But there's a phantom in your foyer

Para, paranoia

Para, paranoia

Para, paranoia

[Bridge]

Draw the blinds

Check under your bed

Hide your gold

And hold your breath

Feel the ghost

In your chest

Check your pulse

You're scared to death

[Chorus]

Para, paranoia

You know what's coming for ya

Venom in your blood

And there's no one here to warn ya

Para, paranoia

You've been here before

Ya can lock up all your doors

But there's a phantom in your foyer

Para, paranoia

You know what's coming for ya

Venom in your blood

And there's no one here to warn ya

Para, paranoia

You've been here before

Ya can lock up all your doors

But there's a phantom in your foyer

Para, paranoia
