Paralyzed lyrics

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's reeling at the thought of all those (human beings dead) I breathe in, breathe out I'm going to an interview About a song, three minutes long I just need something to do Especially when my dearest friend Was sent to cover Kosovo His last assignment brought a bullet And now he's gone, he's gone Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground I need the Ghost to breathe a Northern Gale tonight 'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed I packed his books up, left the office Went to tell the wife the news She fell in shock, the baby kicked, And shed a tear inside the womb I breathed in, I breathed out, Soaked the gound up with my eyes It's hard to say a healing word When your tongue is paralyzed Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground I need the Ghost to breathe a Northern Gale tonight 'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed I breathe in, breathe out I breathe in, breathe out I breathe in, breathe out
