Shell Games |
| Took the fireworks and the vanity |
| The circuit board and the city streets |
| Shooting star, swaying palm tree |
| Laid it at the arbiter’s feet |
| If I could change my mind, change the paradigm |
| Prepare myself for another life |
| Forgive myself for the many times |
| I was cruel to something helpless and weak |
| But here it come, that heavy love |
| I’m never going to move it alone |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| Tag it on a tenement wall |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| Someone got to share in the load |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| I’m never going to move it alone |
| I was dressed in white, touched by something pure |
| Death obsessed like a teenager |
| Sold my tortured youth, piss and vinegar |
| I’m still angry with no reason to be |
| At the architect who imagined this |
| For the everyman, blessed Sisyphus |
| Slipping steadily into madness |
| Now that’s the only place to be free |
| But here it come, that heavy love |
| You’re never going to move it alone |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| Tattooed on a criminal’s arm |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| Someone got to share in the load |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| You’re never going to move it alone |
| No, I don’t want to play |
| It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game |
| Distorted sounds on oscilloscopes |
| Distorted facts, I could never cope |
| My private life is an inside joke |
| No one will explain it to me |
| We’ll be everything that we ever needed |
| Everyone, on the count of three! |
| Everyone, on the count of three! |
| All together now! |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| We’re never going to move it alone |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| Playing as the cylinder rose |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| I only want to share in the load |
| Here it come, that heavy love |
| I’m never going to move it alone |
