Even quadriplegics get the blues sometimes
I don´t mean to talk about it
When they´re lying there alone at night not quite breathing

Even quadriplegics get the blues sometimes
You can be almost certain
All the suction in the world wont make it fine

I´ve been sitting in an empty room
Trying to make sense of what´s happening to you
I´ve been wishing on retired stars...
Just breathing

Wont you hold me in your arms, please
Don´t you cry now, don´t you cry out
Hold my hand and hear my heart speak
You can hold me, you can hold me

Even quadriplegics get the blues sometimes
You can be sure about it
All the movies in the world wont pass the time

Even quadriplegics get the blues sometimes
It´s hardly surprising
All the doctors in the world can make it right, this time

I´ve been sitting in an empty room
Trying to remember the pretty words you said
I´ve been wishing on retired stars...
Just breathing

Wont you hold me in your arms, please
Don´t you cry now, don´t you cry out
Hold my hand and hear my heart speak
You can hold me, you can hold me
