written by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
I'm numb as a statue
I may have to beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
So I can have some feelings too
I'm pale as a ghost
You know what I love about you
That's what I need the most
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too
I don't care if it's superficial
You don't have to dig down deep
Just bring enough for the ritual
Get here before I fall asleep
Ain't nothing special
When the present meets the past
I've always taken care of business
I've paid my first and last
The lyrics NUMB AS A STATUE of WARREN ZEVON is also present in the album The wind (2003)
Warren Zevon (1947-2003) è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e pianista rock statunitense. Nato a Chicago, Illinois, Zevon ha trascorso la sua infanzia in California, dove ha iniziato a suonare musica all'età di 15 anni. Dopo aver lavorato come musicista di sessione per diversi artisti, tra cui Linda Ronstadt e The Everly Brothers, Zevon ha debuttato come solista nel 1976 con l'album "Warren Zevon". Conosciuto per il suo umorismo nero, le sue canzoni spesso esploravano temi oscuri e ironici, mescolando rock, folk e country. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money" e "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di spicco, tra cui Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks e Jackson Browne. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie e i Beatles. Zevon è stato diagnosticato con un cancro al pancreas nel 2002 e morì l'anno successivo all'età di 56 anni. Nonostante la sua breve carriera, Zevon ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica rock americana.
