Paralysed Songtext

von Greg Lake

It was just another suitcase,
Another one night stand.
Another sea of faces
Staring from the dark. (dark)
Then I saw you looking up at me
With unmistakeable eyes.
I could see you were determined
To make a mark.
You were coming for me
Just like a mako shark.

And I was paralysed.
Paralysed by the fire in your eyes.
I was paralysed,
Just couldn't move.

Straight as an arrow
I see you flyin' through the night.
A message with a number
Anytime I called.
I was looking at your face
As the microphone glittered.
The crowd began to roar.

When the spotlight hit me,
I was all alone.
They wanted flesh and blood,
But I had fingers of stone.

And I was paralysed.
Paralysed by the fire in your eyes.
I was paralysed,
Paralysed.

Out of the shadows
I heard a guitar scream.
The place began to thunder,
Street wall.

You were dreamin' of a hero,
A rock'n roll stallion
To make it through the night.
Like a rush of blue heaven
On a mission to score.
Just Snow White, dynamite,
Screaming for more.

And I was paralysed.
Paralysed by the fire in your eyes.
I was paralysed.

Paralysed,
Paralysed by the fire in your eyes.
I was paralysed.

Paralysed,
I was paralysed by the fire in your eyes.
I was paralysed.
