Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting SharkLyrics

Well I'm up there beside the magic man And he laid some tricks for me He said you do need help my friend I whispered, obviously He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens And he begged me take my pick But every face that had your face I cried out, I am sick [Chorus] Sick of hauling your love around Want to run my train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Oh it's a hard love to love you it takes up all my time Having you so familiar like past lives and nursery rhymes So I gave away the pictures and your golden ring And the phone calls you sent me and the silver birds that sing Then the man he told me something that really brought me down Your things were blown away it's true but you were still in town [Chorus] The magician left a message, it flashes when I hide Accept the chains of loving, Accept the rails remove yourself from her side Do without her love As I lay back in the speeding train, I keep it by my side I could mail a letter to you but I still have my pride
