Shell Games Lyrics

Took the fireworks and the vanity
The circuit board and the city streets
Shooting stars, 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 gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tag it on a tenement wall
Here it come, that heavy love
Someone gotta share in the load
Here it come, that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone

I was dressed in white, touched by something pure
Death-obsessed like a teenager
Sold my tortured youth, p*** 'n' 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 gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tattooed on a criminal's arm
Here it come, that heavy love
Someone gotta share in the load
Here it come, that heavy love
You're never gonna move it alone

No, I don't wanna 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 need
Everyone, on the count of three!
Everyone, on the count of three!
All together now!

But here it come, that heavy love
We're never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Playing as the cylinder rolls
Here it come, that heavy love
I only wanna share in the load
Here it come, that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone
Waaaaa!
