Destroyer Lyrics By The Kinks

    met a girl called lola and i took her back to my place
    feelin’ guilty feelin’ scared hidden cameras everywhere
    stop hold on stay in control

    girl i want you here with me
    but i’m really not as cool as i’d like to be
    ’cause there’s a red under my bed
    and there’s a little yellow man in my head
    and there’s a true blue inside of me
    that keeps stoppin’ me touchin’ ya watchin’ ya lovin’ ya

    paranoia the destroyer
    paranoia the destroyer

    well i fell asleep then i woke feelin’ kinda queer
    lola looked at me and said ooh you look so weird
    she said man there’s really something wrong with you
    one day you’re gonna selfdestruct

    you’re up you’re down i can’t work you out
    you get a good thing goin’ then you blow yourself out

    silly boy you selfdestroyer
    silly boy you selfdestroyer

    silly boy you got so much to live for
    so much to aim for so much to try for
    you’re blowing it all with paranoia
    you’re so insecure you selfdestroyer

    and it goes like this here it goes
    paranoia the destroyer
    here it goes again
    paranoia the destroyer

    doctor doctor help me please i know you will understand
    there’s a time device inside of me i’m a selfdestructin’ man
    there’s a red under my bed
    and there’s a little green man in my head
    and he said you’re not goin’ crazy you’re just a bit sad
    ’cause there’s a man in ya gnawin’ ya tearin’ ya into two

    silly boy you selfdestroyer
    paranoia the destroyer

    selfdestroyer wreck your health
    destroy your friends destroy yourself
    the time device of selfdestruction
    light the fuse and start eruption yeah

    yeah it goes like this here it goes
    paranoia the destroyer
    here’s to paranoia
    paranoia the destroyer
    hey hey here it goes
    paranoia the destroyer
    and it goes like this

    paranoia the destroyer
    and it goes like this
