My   Sweet   Paralysis
And If I taught you to see in a different way, would you listen to me? . . . or would
you push me away, like you always do . . . like you always do . . . like you always do!

(Verse-1)    If I die tonight, (What's this . . . here we go again)? . . . would you miss me? And if I died tonight, (You're gettin' all serious again)? . . . would you care? Tell your lies . . . the same old little lies now, (Girl . . . I'm really trying here)! like you do . . . and If I died tonight, (Ain't I here)? would you even care, would you even care? When you drive, me this crazy . . . blow my head, somethin’ hazy! Where I go, it’s amazing. Cold and numb, I know it's sweet paralysis. Finders keepers, losers weepers! (I’m lookin’ to find you, but you’re somewhere deep inside you) Finders keepers, losers weepers! (Now tell me why should I try, when all you want is sweet paralysis)?

(Chorus)   . . . And when you treat me this way, I go to that place Where you can’t get me, and life won’t let me! I think I’m likin’ this, I’m headed toward the bliss, my sweet paralysis! Tell me what you want . . . (X10),

(Verse-2)    If I cried tonight, (Girl just because I don't talk much) . . . would you hear me? And if I cried tonight, (Sometimes you gotta have somethin' to say) . . . would you know? Have your pride . . . the ego deep inside now, (What do you expect . . . I'm a Man)! Big bad Man . . . and If I cried tonight, (I just hate that)! would you even care, would you even care? When you drive, me this crazy . . . blow my head, somethin’ hazy! Where I go, it’s amazing. Cold and numb, I know it's sweet paralysis. Finders keepers, losers weepers! (I’m lookin’ to find you, but you’re somewhere deep inside you) Finders keepers, losers weepers! (Now tell me why should I try, when all you want is sweet paralysis)?

(Chorus)   . . . And when you treat me this way, I go to that place Where you can’t get me, and life won’t let me! I think I’m likin’ this, I’m headed toward the bliss, my sweet paralysis! my sweet paralysis! Tell me what you want . . . (X10),

And If I taught you to see in a different way, (But does it end like this)? would you listen to me? . . . or would you push me away, (I’m drifting toward the bliss) like you always do . . . like you always do . . . like you always do!
(my sweet paralysis)!

I stayed up all night scratchin' my head . . . avoiding the bed . . . but still I can't arrive, riddle me none the closer, the wiser, avoidance realizer, when you're caught-up in shell . . . your little self-inflicted Hell, or Heaven, your Paralytic sins forgiven. Just like a powder when it glissens and you can't even listen. Not that you can or even wanna anymore. If the thrill is really gone, why you ain't hit the door?

If I die tonight, (why you ain't hit the door)? . . . would you miss me? And if I died tonight, (why you ain't hit the door)? . . . would you care? Tell your lies . . . the same old little lies now, (why you ain't hit the door)? like you do . . . Have your pride . . . the ego deep inside now, Big bad Man . . . and If you die tonight, (What's this . . . here we go again)? . . . would I miss you? And if you died tonight, (You're gettin' all serious again)? . . . would I care?
