BLUE OYSTER CULT - Shooting Shark lyrics

rate me

Well I bumped inside the magic man<br>And he laid some tricks on me<br>He said, you do need help my friend<br>I whispered, obviously<br>He laid a spread of jacks and queens<br>And he bade me take my pick<br>But every face it had your face<br>I cried out, I am sick<br><br>Sick of hauling your love around<br>Want to run the train alone<br>But the engine tracks straight through your heart<br>And weighs me like a stone<br><br>Oh, it's a hard load to love you<br>It takes up all my time, having you<br>So familiar<br>Like last life's<br>Nursery rhyme<br><br>So I gave away the pictures<br>And your golden ring<br>And the phone calls you sent me<br>And the silver birds that sing<br>Then the man he told me something<br>That really brought me down<br>Your things were thrown away, it's true<br>But you were still in town<br><br>Sick of hauling your love around<br>Wanna run the train alone<br>But the engine tracks straight through your heart<br>And weighs me like a stone<br><br>Oh, it's a hard load to love you<br>It takes up all my time, having you<br>So familiar<br>Like last life's<br>Nursery rhyme<br><br>The magician let a message<br>It flashes when I hide<br>Accept the chains of loving<br>Accept or else remove yourself from her side<br>And do without her love<br>And I lay back with a steel chain<br>I keep it by my side<br>I could mail a letter to you but I still<br>Have my pride<br><br>Sick of hauling your love around<br>Wanna run the train alone<br>But the engine tracks straight through your heart<br>And weighs me like a stone<br><br>Three times I've sent you back from me<br>Three times my bones gone dry<br>And three times I've seen the shooting shark<br>Lighting up the sky<br><br>Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe<br>It takes my breath away<br>The fourth time round<br>Is the last time round<br>There's nothing else to say
