Pelham - the joke Lyrics

Lately I've been trying to see
Myself the way they look at me
Do they really like me or am I a joke they see

Baby, I think I need some help dear
Cause being by myself is not what I fear
I can hear them laughing, it scares me
Are they laughing at me

And one by one they take hold of me
I can't help feeling like they're choking me

Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35, it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny cause the joke's on me
The joke's on me

I'm sorry I don't mean to complain
I'm tired and I probably should sleep
I know you think I'm paranoid about all the people I know

But every time they look at me
I get this feeling like I'm drowning
It gets harder and harder and harder to breathe
Rescue me

And one by one they take hold of me
I can't help feeling like they're choking me

Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35, it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny cause the joke's on me

Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35, it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny cause the joke's on me
The joke's on me
