Paranoia Is A Skill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is this the place, the place I wake up everyday?
Is this the face, the face I fake everyday?
Is this the way I comb my hair, is this the way I wear my clothes?
Is this the way… is this the way?
Is this the way I, I, I… I'm under surveillance.
You've been watching me all day.
Who am I, what's my name? I'm under surveillance.
Scribbled on the back of a Polaroid.
Cover my tracks cuz I'm paranoid.
Is this the way that I've become?
Wiretaps, photographs like a loaded gun.
Is this the way I comb my hair, is this the way I wear my clothes?
Is this the way… is this the way?
Is this the way I, I, I… You're under surveillance.
You've been watching me all day.
Who am I, what's my name? You're under surveillance.
Someone's tapping my telephone.
Check, check on the microphone.
We're under surveillance.
