Pink Floyd - Paranoid Eyes lyrics
[Pink Floyd - Paranoid Eyes lyrics]
Button your lip and don’t let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bulletproof mask
And if they try to break down
Your disguise with their questions
You can hide, hide, hide
Behind paranoid eyes
You put on our brave face and slip
Over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually
Lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide, hide, hide
("I’ll tell you what, I’ll
Give you three blacks
And play you for five")
Behind petrified eyes
("Ta! You was unlucky there, son")
You believed in their stories
Of fame, fortune, and glory
Now you’re lost in a haze
Of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out
To be miles too high
And you hide, hide, hide ("Time gentleman!")
Behind brown and mild eyes
"Oi!"
Take a fresh grip on your bulletproof mask
And if they try to break down
Your disguise with their questions
You can hide, hide, hide
Behind paranoid eyes
You put on our brave face and slip
Over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually
Lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide, hide, hide
("I’ll tell you what, I’ll
Give you three blacks
And play you for five")
Behind petrified eyes
("Ta! You was unlucky there, son")
You believed in their stories
Of fame, fortune, and glory
Now you’re lost in a haze
Of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out
To be miles too high
And you hide, hide, hide ("Time gentleman!")
Behind brown and mild eyes
"Oi!"
