Lyrics Paralysed - Greg Lake

Paralysed

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.
