Paralyzed

She ain't as beautiful as me, but she's as beautiful as she can be
She ain't as cold as she want but she wants it to boil
She ain't as cold as she can be, don't you see

It takes a fast mind to figure out
What's on this whole earth is all about
Let 'em ride for a while, let 'em wonder, oh
Why it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

She's got a bent belt by her side
She's got that donkey paralyzed
She's got a cold inner wind and a ware full of sins
She's got a garage door where you've got lies

She's got a lifeline by her side
She's got a woman paralyzed
She's got a much elder husband that God's son himself
She's got a baggage full of hope and knives

Na! Get down!

She's selling basses down a backstreet stair
Just down the alley where there's nothin' but air
And the birds took the brake 'round 1968
She's selling basses in a backstreet stair

She took me down when just couldn't get ahead
She took my soul when I choosed laughter instead
Let me ride for a while, let me wonder, oh
How it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

She's got a bent belt by her side
She's got that donkey paralyzed
She's got a cold inner wind and a ware full of sins
She's got a garage door where you've got lies

She's got a lifeline by her side
She's got a woman paralyzed
She's got a much elder husband that God's son himself
She's got a baggage full of hope and knives
