Paralyzed
Simmons, Ezrin
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1 with Riff 1]
[Rhy. fig 2]
Who cares..IĀ“m in trance..
I got no hope..I donĀ“t stand a chance..
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
Who knows, well I donĀ“t care
Cause I donĀ“t fit in anywhere
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 2]
Well, IĀ“m numb but thatĀ“s my style
IĀ“ve been numb for a little while
And itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, thereĀ“s nothing left to say
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
DonĀ“t see nothing in my eys
Cause man IĀ“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 didnĀ“t want this anyway
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
Who says life is good
"Love thyself," well I never could
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
[Rhy. fig 3 with Riff 4]
IĀ“m here dressed in black
Waiting for a heart attack
But itĀ“s all right
YesĀ“itĀ“s all right
Try to talk I just canĀ“t speak
The urge is strong, but my brain is weak
And itĀ“s all right
Yes itĀ“s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 5]
DonĀ“t see nothing in my eys
Cause man IĀ“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 itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
I checked out yesterday
Well, thereĀ“s nothing left to say
But itĀ“s all right
Yes, itĀ“s all right
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 7]
DonĀ“t see nothinĀ“ in my eyes
Cause man IĀ“ve been lobotomized .. IĀ“m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 8]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, IĀ“m kinda feelinĀ“ otherwise .. IĀ“m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b with Riff 9]
DonĀ“t see nothinĀ“ in my eyes
Cause man IĀ“ve been lobotomized .. IĀ“m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 5a & 5b with Riff 10]
Cold inside anesthetized
Yeah, IĀ“m kinda feelinĀ“ otherwise .. IĀ“m paralyzed
[Rhy. fig 9 with Riff 11]
