Schizoid Man (Alternative Version)

Not far away is a place you can go

Where the music is great but the stories gyrate

The man seems okay but the longer you stay

You begin to regret every word that you say

The evidence mounts in the back of his mind

Till one day a black moon will seek and then find

His smile is well practiced but that's where it ends

The shallow veneer hides some sinister trends

Schizoid - twisted, warped and paranoid

Schizoid - infant brain, he's insane

Schizoid - snapped and buckled, filled with hate

Yeah, he's a schizoid man

His otherwise empty life's cluttered with fears

Like an overgrown minefield forgotten by years

And just when you think that he's out of your head

That phone call reminds you that you want him dead

Schizoid - twisted, warped and paranoid

Schizoid - infant brain, he's insane

Schizoid - snapped and buckled, filled with hate

Yeah, he's a schizoid man

His life has no meaning so he never stops

Proverbial leopards just don't change their spots

So close is the moment to finish the game

Schizoid man must be beaten again

Schizoid - twisted, warped and paranoid

Schizoid - infant brain, he's insane

Schizoid - snapped and buckled, filled with hate

Yeah, he's a schizoid man

Schizoid - twisted, warped and paranoid

Schizoid - infant brain, he's insane

Schizoid - snapped and buckled, filled with hate

Yeah, he's a schizoid man
