Paranoia Ball
I've been running for oh so long and I'm so tired.
Could you pick me up, I'm a traveling pilgrim,
And I sure do need a ride.
Am dreaming all these cities and trains?
Do the subway tokens (meto cards) have any brains?
What if parking meters could talk?
Who do they know on you block?
Let's all get guaranteed though there isn't any need,
And go dancing at the paranoia Ball.
(Chorus)
At the paranoia ball, come one come all...
It doesn't matter how you dress...
You look like all the rest.
At the paranoia ball.
Could you give me back my 44 cents...
This tin can is full of dents.
This potato doesn't have any eyes...
But it's ok, I like em blind.
Frozen plastic sometimes tastes mighty good
And it looks a lot like actual food.
The colors are all certified...
Who do you know who has died?
Get a good check up, let the Dr. shoot you up,
And go dancing at the paranoia ball.
(Chorus)
Ride the subway of broken dreams,
It's one way down a two way street.
The conductor doesn't have any brains,
But it ok, he don;t control the trains...
Full throttle no stops, it's an express train.
Destination doubtful, and the outlook's the same.
All of a sudden there's a complete stop.
The people all rush to get off.
Climb the stairway, what a subway ride,
And go dancing at the paranoia ball.
{Chorus} xs 2

Great song! Very well done my Friend! Thank you very much for sharing! I'm following and upvoting! All the best! Positive Energy! Great Karma! Your Friend @extraterrestrial :)
Thank you!
I have always loved this song...so cool! :)
You are my encourager!
Good stuff... so is the banjo next? 😄 thank you for sharing your talents. It takes guts to step in front of a microphone and put yourself out there. I appreciate you doing so. Peace to you!
Need a few more years of rehearsal on the banjo, but I do pick it up sometimes...I have been working on adding a little banjo to some of my stuff for licensing options...asking for Americana flavored music.
Fair enough... if you ever get around to picking and grinning for us, I’d watch. Peace and thanks again.
Love to hear that song...
I like your music. It's so charming.
Thank you!
