lyrics

The Chair

Two thousand years
have seemed to pass
Since I last walked and
I don't believe I can stand
Without your hands
Why did it have to be
Why did it happen
happen to me

First, it took my life
and then it went after my wife
She couldn't hold on
the chair was too strong
I could implore you
for some sympathy
Remembering all
the things I used to be

Burning, burning
tortured nerves are screaming
It holds forever
in straps of steel and leather

Real human beings must
look my way and smile
They wheel me down
another endless isle
Rolling, rollin
is there no controlling
The course unfolding
in each new dark foreboding

I've seen each great and gifted man
Who claimed that they
could make me stand again
They left, cash in hand
Why do they all deceive
Am I too tired, tired to believe

In better days
I took a fearless stance
And used each break
to take another chance
Dreaming, dreaming
I'm almost believing
Gripping, gripping
handhold slowing slipping
It led my lover to another face
And there's no comfort
in it's cold embrace

Beaten, beaten
my hopes and plans are eaten
The mahl of steel
makes the final meal

I don't want to sit anymore
I don't want to sit anymore
I don't want to sit anymore
I don't want to sit anymore
I don't want to sit anymore
I've got to break out of this chair
I don't want to sit anymore
I've got to break out of this chair
I don't want to sit anymore
I've got to break out of this chair
I don't want to sit anymore
I've got to break out of this chair
