Paralyzed
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Truth is you've been waiting so long
You're ripe and so insane
Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain
How long will you sit there wondering
What's happening to your heart
Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start
CHORUS:
I'll take to the road in a little while
Under cover of night
You come or you stay
Whatever seems right
I ain't looking for friends or lovers
Ain't looking for a pot of gold
Had it all when I was younger - It got old
Who will leave this world of sorrow
Who will
Truth is you've been waiting so long
You're ripe and so insane
Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain
How long will you sit there wondering
What's happening to your heart
Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start
CHORUS:
I'll take to the road in a little while
Under cover of night
You come or you stay
Whatever seems right
I ain't looking for friends or lovers
Ain't looking for a pot of gold
Had it all when I was younger - It got old
Who will leave this world of sorrow
Who will
Give Me A Ride (Roller Coaster)
Give me a ride on your roller coaster
Give me a thrill, I can't help feelin' bored
Give me a dime to call my baby closer
'Cause I'm alone, I'm feelin' bored
I can't help thinking I'm ignored
I've been away far too long to recall
Just what it's like to be among my friends
Give me a pill to ease my nervous tension
'Cause I can't hardly see the end
I long to be among my friends
I've been on the road for too long, I don't know
I'm walking around and I don't know where to go.
Well I'm half-crazed and I don't know who to be
Won't you please! Help me please!
Won't you please! I long to be at ease!
Give me a ride on your magic carpet
Take me away from this mediocrity
What must I do to get me feeling better
I guess it all boils down to me
Responsibility's on me
