Bright Eyes lyrics : "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
