I Heard Them Talking About Me

I heard them talking about me yesterday
I saw them laugh at me when I walked away
I know they're whispering, I heard what they say
Could they be envious of what I portray
I must be pretty special
I must be on their minds
I'm just so damn important
With secrets undefined
I feel their stares
As I walk by
Their thoughts are so unkind

I know my new assignment
I know my role to play
I get instructions daily
Different from yesterday
The radio
And tv set
Both told me what to say

They all say
It's in my mind
I've been told
I am paranoid
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
My thoughts are misaligned

I heard them talking about me yesterday
I saw them laugh at me when I just walked by
I know they're whispering, I heard what they say
They want to stop me, Oh please God, let them try

I know how famous I am
I know the urgency
To keep my secrets private
My plan works perfectly
My inner thoughts
Are in control
They're hidden perfectly

I hear the words they're saying
I hear them thinking, too
They think they're so much better
Than what I plan to do
They think they're smart
And secretive
I've worked it through and through

They all say
It's in my mind
I've been told
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
My thoughts are misaligned

I heard them talking about me yesterday
I saw them laugh at me when I just passed through
I know they're whispering, I heard what they say
They think they know my plans, that's really untrue

I know the thoughts they're thinking
I know they plans they make
I've got my magic markers
And they will keep me safe
My secret goal
Is mine alone
My safeguards are in place

They all say
It's in my mind
I've been told
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
My thoughts are misaligned

They know the thoughts I'm thinking
They know the plans I make
I've got my magic markers
And they will keep me safe

I've got my magic markers
And they will keep me safe

I've got my magic markers
And they will keep me safe
My safeguards are in place

They will keep me safe

I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid

I'm paranoid
