If you're getting nervous
Cos all your defences are down
And you're running through a storm
Cos there's no one on the other side

You've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen
You've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen

You flit like a butterfly
And never say goodbye
Look in car windows
And feel like you could die

You've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen
You've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen

You think you're going mad
And your looks are starting to fade
Oh and all your achievements
Lie far behind your dreams

Oh and you've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen
You've got to avoid being Paranoid sixteen

You've got to avoid
Being paranoid
You've got to avoid
Getting so paranoid
