State Of Shock

Featuring some of his most intense guitar licks and incredible solos on tracks like “Alone” and “Paralyzed”, and an energetic band that keeps up with Sweaty Teddy’s gnarly guitar work with some sweet hooks it will leave you waiting for more!

- 1. Paralyzed
Lyrics
I’m on a mission of mercy. I gotta testify
You lost your emotions. You’re paralyzed
Amputate your logic, you’re hypnotized
You show no emotion. You’re paralyzed
Don’t you know you crucify yourself, oh, no
You’re killin’ you and nobody else,
And I know you been spending your nights alone
The lights are on but there’s nobody home
You don’t know where you come from. You’re not too wise
You got nowhere to run to. You paralyzed
Don’t you know you crucify yourself, oh, no
You’re killin’ you and nobody else,
And I know you been spending your nights alone
The lights are on but there’s nobody home
Can you feel your body? Can you move your eyes?
Can you feel your heartbeat? Well, are you paralyzed?
Don’t you know you crucify yourself, oh, no
You’re killin’ you and nobody else,
And I know you been spending your nights alone
The lights are on but there’s nobody home
Paralyzed

- 2. Take It Or Leave It
Lyrics
Uh huh
Take it
Won’t you take it or leave it…
Won’t you take it or leave it…
Ain’t too mutch to look at
But fun to be around
…
So take me home to moma
I will act alright
Or introduce your sister
Make up your mind tonight
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

- 3. Alone
Lyrics
Did you know
Could you see
Don’t you feel
You should have told me
I was there
When you needed
But you lied
Now you’re gone
And I’m alone
I get scared
Feel the pain
My hearts bleeding
I can’t believe all the loneliness
I was lost when you left our home
It was strange to exist with the loneliness
I’m not used to being alone
They were sure
I was strong
I could take it
They don’t see
All the nights
That I cry
I can’t believe all the loneliness
I was lost when you left our home
It was strange to exist with the loneliness
I’m not used to being alone
Maybe now
I can find
A new baby
Maybe now
I can start
Over again
No more tears
No more pain
And no lying
It’s so hard
It’s ok
Now I’m trying
I can’t believe all the loneliness
I was lost when you left our home
It was strange to exist with the loneliness
I’m not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone
Not used to being alone

- 5. State Of Shock
Lyrics
And if you see my baby, tell her that I’m gone
I’ve been missing in action, just to say so long
Bye bye baby
And if she wants to find me, she’s out of luck
I’m in a state of confusion, she’s in a state of shock
Yes she is
In a state of shock, that’s where you’ll find me, in a state of shock
In a state of shock, that’s where I’m cruisin’, in a state of shock
Come on
Yeah she has lost her direction, she tried to make a buck
In a state of confusion, in a state of shock
She’s in a state of shock, she goes crazy
She’s in a state of shock, she is confused
She’s in a state of shock, so confused
She’s in a state of shock, losing her mind
She’s in a state of shock

- 6. I Want To Tell You
Lyrics
I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you’re here
All those words they seem to slip away
When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It’s all right
I’ll make you maybe next time around
But if I seem to act unkind
It’s only me, it’s not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don’t know why
I don’t mind
I could wait forever, I’ve got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you’d understand
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don’t know why
I don’t mind
I could wait forever, I’ve got time
I’ve got time
I’ve got time

- 8. Bite Down Hard
Lyrics
I knew right when I saw you
That I just had to have you
You hit me right between my eyes
I approached the situation
With no hesitation
I knew that you were just my size
You got the kind of body
That makes me feel crazy
You make me wanna jump on it
I’m like a race horse
Climb into my saddle
You know I’m jumpin’ over this
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Ooh yeah
Knocking you’re runnin’
You know I got the money
I’m gonna stack it all on you
With your small pretty legs
And your long braided hair
I tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’m gonna bite down hard
I’ve got to bite it
Like this
I gotta bite down hard
Sink my teeth deep
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Got to scare men
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
Chew one up
I gotta bite down hard
I’d like to tell ya
I gotta bite down hard
I gotta bite down hard
It’s what I’m gonna do
I gotta bite down hard
