Paralyzed
Simmons, Ezrin
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1 with Riff 1]
[Rhy. fig 2]
Who cares..Iīm in trance..
I got no hope..I donīt stand a chance..
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
Who knows, well I donīt care
Cause I donīt fit in anywhere
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 2]
Well, Iīm numb but thatīs my style
Iīve been numb for a little while
And itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, thereīs nothing left to say
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
Donīt see nothing in my eys
Cause man Iīve 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 didnīt want this anyway
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
Who says life is good
"Love thyself," well I never could
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 4]
Iīm here dressed in black
Waiting for a heart attack
But itīs all right
Yesīitīs all right
Try to talk I just canīt speak
The urge is strong, but my brain is weak
And itīs all right
Yes itīs all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 5]
Donīt see nothing in my eys
Cause man Iīve 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 itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, thereīs nothing left to say
But itīs all right
Yes, itīs all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 7]
Donīt see nothinī in my eyes
Cause man Iīve been lobotomized .. Iīm paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 8]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, Iīm kinda feelinī otherwise .. Iīm paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 9]
Donīt see nothinī in my eyes
Cause man Iīve been lobotomized .. Iīm paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 5a & 5b with Riff 10]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, Iīm kinda feelinī otherwise .. Iīm paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 9 with Riff 11]
