Paralyzed - 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

Stomach seething at the thought of all those (human beings dead)

I breathe in, breathe out

Im going to an interview

About a song, three minutes long

That will mean nothing to you

Especially when your dearest friend

Was sent to cover kosovo

His last assignment brought a bullet

And now hes gone, hes gone

Feels like Im (fiddling) while rome is burning down

Should I put my (fiddle) down and rise up from the ground

God give me strength to pray that you will set things right

cause Im paralyzed, Im paralyzed

There was a (christian) in the office

Sent to tell the wife (the news)

Fell in shock, the baby kicked, shed a tear inside the womb

I breathe in, breathe out

Soak the ground up with my eyes

I try to say a healing word

But my tongue is paralyzed

Feels like Im (fiddling) while rome is burning down

Should I put my (fiddle) down and rise up from the ground

God give me strength to pray that you will set things right

cause Im paralyzed, Im paralyzed
