Paralyzed
Simmons, Ezrin
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1 with Riff 1]
[Rhy. fig 2]
Who cares..I?m in trance..
I got no hope..I don?t stand a chance..
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
Who knows, well I don?t care
Cause I don?t fit in anywhere
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 2]
Well, I?m numb but that?s my style
I?ve been numb for a little while
And it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, there?s nothing left to say
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
Don?t see nothing in my eys
Cause man I?ve been lobotomized
[Rhy. fig 5a & 5b]
Cool inside, anesthetized
Cause life has got me paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 6]
[Rhy. fig 2 with Riff 3]
Who says I have to pay
I didn?t want this anyway
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
Who says life is good
"Love thyself," well I never could
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 4]
I?m here dressed in black
Waiting for a heart attack
But it?s all right
Yes?it?s all right
Try to talk I just can?t speak
The urge is strong, but my brain is weak
And it?s all right
Yes it?s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 5]
Don?t see nothing in my eys
Cause man I?ve been lobotomized
[Rhy. fig 5a & 5b]
Cool inside, anesthetized
Cause life has got me paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 6]
[Rhy. fig 7]
[Rhy. fig 8a & 8b]
[Solo over Rhy. fig 2]
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 6]
And who says life is good
"Love thyself," well I never could
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, there?s nothing left to say
But it?s all right
Yes, it?s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 7]
Don?t see nothin? in my eyes
Cause man I?ve been lobotomized .. I?m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 8]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, I?m kinda feelin? otherwise .. I?m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 9]
Don?t see nothin? in my eyes
Cause man I?ve been lobotomized .. I?m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 5a & 5b with Riff 10]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, I?m kinda feelin? otherwise .. I?m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 9 with Riff 11]
