Paranoid Eyes Lyrics

button your lip don't let the shield slip 
take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask 
and if they try to break down your disguise with their questions 
you can hide hide hide 
behind paranoid eyes

you put on your 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 hide hide hide 
behind petrified eyes

you believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory 
now you're lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age 
the pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high 
and you hide hide hide 
behind brown and mild eyes
