BLUE OYSTER CULT - Veteran Of The Psychic Wars lyrics

rate me

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars<br>I've been living on the edge so long<br>Where the winds of limbo roar<br>And I'm young enough to look at<br>And far too old to see<br>All the scars are on the inside<br>I'm not sure if there's anything left of me<br><br>Don't let these shakes go on<br>It's time we had a break from it<br>It's time we had some leave<br>We've been living in the flames<br>We've been eating up our brains<br>Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on<br><br>You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you<br>You blame me for my silence<br>Say it's time I changed and grew<br>But the war's still going on dear<br>And there's no end that I know<br>And I can't say if we're ever...<br>I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free<br><br>Don't let these shakes go on<br>It's time we had a break from it<br>It's time we had some leave<br>We've been living in the flames<br>We've been eating out our brains<br>Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on<br><br>You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars<br>My energy's spent at last<br>And my armor is destroyed<br>I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved<br>Wounds are all I'm made of<br>Did I hear you say that this is victory? <br><br>Don't let these shakes go on<br>It's time we had a break from it<br>Send me to the rear<br>Where the tides of madness swell<br>And been sliding into hell<br>Oh, please don't let shakes go on<br>Don't let these shakes go on<br>Don't let these shakes go on
