Paralysed - 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.
