I'll wait for someone to tell me what I already know And I'll wait for my grip to fail me then I'll just let it go She's so hard to please so I just freeze Nailed down by whispers, looks and sighs And I'm so paralysed, I am so paralysed
I wait for you to disown me when you leave I won't look I wait for someone to phone me with the phone off the hook I get up to leave but I just deceive You all the time pretending i'm So paralysed I'm so paralysed I'm so paralysed I'm just paralysed
I wait for mistakes to happen so I can't put them right I wait for someone to latch on, but no-one's that bright
I say it can't be done, let's turn and run Completely normal in my own eyes To be so paralysed
Got the fear of falling from a great height Can't open my parachute stiff with fright I woke up naked in the high street With lead boots on both feet
I was paralysed I'm so paralysed I'm so paralysed
She's so hard to please so I just freeze Nailed down by whispers, looks and sighs And I'm so paralysed, I am so paralysed Got me so paralysed, I'm so paralysed I am so paralyse, I am so paralysed
