Blue yster Cult — Shooting Shark

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma] Well, I'm up there besides the magic man And he laid some tricks on 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 it had your face I cried out... "I am sick" [Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma] Sick of hauling your love around Want to run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone [Chorus: Buck Dharma] Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time, having you So familiar Like past lives and... Nursery rhymes [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] 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 thrown away, it's true But you were still in town [Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma] Sick of hauling your love around Wanna run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone [Chorus: Buck Dharma] Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time, having you So familiar Like past lives and... Nursery rhymes [Verse 3: Buck Dharma] The magician let 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 [Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma] Sick of hauling your love around Wanna run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Three times I've sent you back from me Three times my boats gone dry And three times I've seen the shooting shark Lighting up the sky [Chorus: Buck Dharma] Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe It takes my breath away The fourth time 'round Is the last time 'round There's nothing else to say
