Paralyzed lyrics
Song information
Artist: Sixpence None The Richer Album: Divine Discontent
Lyrics
Music & lyrics by : sixpence none the richer
I look out to the fields Where blood is shed upon the ground I breathe in, breathe out Change the channel, mute the sound I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head My stomach's reeling at the thought of all those human beings dead
I breathe in, breathe out And go to do an interview About a song three minutes long I just need something to do Especially when my dearest friend Was sent to cover kosovo His last assignment brought a bullet And now he is gone, he's gone
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down Should I lay my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground I need the ghost to breathe, a northern gale tonight Cuz I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
I packed his books up, left the office Went to tell the wife the news She fell in shock, the baby kicked And shed a tear inside the womb I breathed in, I breathed out Soaked the ground up with my eyes It's hard to say a healing word When your tongue is paralyzed
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down Should I lay my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground I need the ghost to breathe, a northern gale tonight Cuz I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
I breathe in, I breathe out
