Paranoidora's box

 Someone’s at the door

Am wishing him away

But it’s not meant to be

‘Cause the dripping floor

Won’t mend itself

And I gotta let him in

 

The bandit mask is on

But there ain’t no guns

To be sacred off

Just the loaded mouth

To take cover from

‘n a death trail on the floor

 

The executioner’s hand

Has dodged the ether

And gone carelessly berserk

A touch of minefields

It’s all too late now

Run hell for leather

 

I watch from the trenches

The territory’s all marked up

He’s done and gone

No prisoners taken

No one left behind

Just me ‘n no man’s land
