Bright Eyes - Shell Games Lyrics
Took the fireworks and the vanityThe circuit board and the city streetsShooting star, swaying palm treeLaid it at the arbiter's feetIf I could change my mind, change the paradigmPrepare myself for another lifeForgive myself for the many timesI was cruel to something helpless and weakBut here it come, that heavy loveI'm never going to move it aloneHere it come, that heavy loveTag it on a tenement wallHere it come, that heavy loveSomeone got to share in the loadHere it come, that heavy loveI'm never going to move it aloneI was dressed in white, touched by something pureDeath obsessed like a teenagerSold my tortured youth, piss and vinegarI'm still angry with no reason to beAt the architect who imagined thisFor the everyman, blessed SisyphusSlipping steadily into madnessNow that's the only place to be freeBut here it come, that heavy loveYou're never going to move it aloneHere it come, that heavy loveTattooed on a criminal's armHere it come, that heavy loveSomeone got to share in the loadHere it come, that heavy loveYou're never going to move it aloneNo, I don't want to playIt's a shell game, it's a shell gameDistorted sounds on oscilloscopesDistorted facts, I could never copeMy private life is an inside jokeNo one will explain it to meWe'll be everything that we ever neededEveryone, on the count of three!Everyone, on the count of three!All together now!Here it come, that heavy loveWe're never going to move it aloneHere it come, that heavy lovePlaying as the cylinder roseHere it come, that heavy loveI only want to share in the loadHere it come, that heavy loveI'm never going to move it alone
