The Destroyer
The destroyer of brothers with truth.
Walks down the hall, smiling.
He is the only destroyer worth that smile.
I want so badly for things to be different.
Yet I'm sliding and spilling and what can I do?
The coffee drips, the clocks tick.
The tune plays-- but the song I'm singing,
Has no tune and no end.
Walks down the hall, smiling.
He is the only destroyer worth that smile.
I want so badly for things to be different.
Yet I'm sliding and spilling and what can I do?
The coffee drips, the clocks tick.
The tune plays-- but the song I'm singing,
Has no tune and no end.

Ray Davies
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' self-destruct.
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 ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer
Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self-destroyer
(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'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' 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 ya' self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption
(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.)
saw Dylan tonight... he played Shooting Star; the most significant song of the night. My first concert w/Bob was the year this came out; he didn't play a damn song from it... that I remember. Funny how time slips away... He had been playing some Tom Waits covers...left us out. I was hoping for something off of Closing Time or Alice...eh? Any how... a little bit of comic relief with the Destroyer song...they remind me that self parody is worth while... be well.
