Steve Gunn Paranoid Lyrics

[Verse]
Step into the water, throw it like a thing
It's a thing that swings
In the waves and the sun, it's a pendulum
Refracting gold bloom
A hand-drawn map provides the facts
And gives the reason that you'll come back
There's a glass you break just out past the dunes
Shapeless face among the weeds
The walkers sigh, your mother cries
They can't say a thing but they know what's on your mind
Sit and wait, the landscape looks so different than
Your photobooks, it's grabbing me, yeah such offense

[Chorus]
The song he sings, it's called "Paranoid"
They just made it up, it's his favorite word
Not sure what it means, but it's what he believes
And it's coming from nowhere at all

[Verse]
Step into the water, throw it like a thing
It's a thing that swings
In the waves and the sun, it's a pendulum
Refracting gold bloom
A hand-drawn map provides the facts
And gives the reason that you'll come back
There's a glass you break just out past the dunes
Shapeless face among the weeds
The walkers sigh, your mother cries
They can't say a thing but they know what's on your mind
Sit and wait, the landscape looks so different than
Your photobooks, it's grabbing me, yeah such offense

[Chorus]
The song he sings, it's called "Paranoid"
They just made it up, it's his favorite word
Not sure what it means, but it's what he believes
And it's coming from nowhere at all
