Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting Shark Lyrics
Well I bumped inside the magic manAnd he laid some tricks on meHe said, you do need help my friendI whispered, obviouslyHe laid a spread of jacks and queensAnd he bade me take my pickBut every face it had your faceI cried out, I am sickSick of hauling your love aroundWant to run the train aloneBut the engine tracks straight through your heartAnd weighs me like a stoneOh, its a hard load to love youIt takes up all my time, having youSo familiarLike last lifesNursery rhymeSo I gave away the picturesAnd your golden ringAnd the phone calls you sent meAnd the silver birds that singThen the man he told me somethingThat really brought me downYour things were thrown away, its trueBut you were still in townSick of hauling your love aroundWanna run the train aloneBut the engine tracks straight through your heartAnd weighs me like a stoneOh, its a hard load to love youIt takes up all my time, having youSo familiarLike last lifesNursery rhymeThe magician let a messageIt flashes when I hideAccept the chains of lovingAccept or else remove yourself from her sideAnd do without her loveAnd I lay back with a steel chainI keep it by my sideI could mail a letter to you but I stillHave my prideSick of hauling your love aroundWanna run the train aloneBut the engine tracks straight through your heartAnd weighs me like a stoneThree times Ive sent you back from meThree times my bones gone dryAnd three times Ive seen the shooting sharkLighting up the skyOh, its a hard load to love you, babeIt takes my breath awayThe fourth time roundIs the last time roundTheres nothing else to say
