Shooting Shark Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

Well, I bumped inside 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 bade me take my pick 

But every face, it had your face 

I cried out, "I am sick" 

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 load to love you 

It takes up all my time having you 

So familiar like last life's nursery rhyme 

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 

Sick of hauling your love around 

Wanna run my train alone 

But the engine tracks, straight through your heart 

And weighs me like a stone 

Oh, it's a hard load to love you 

It takes up all my time having you 

So familiar like last life's nursery rhyme 

The magician let the message 

It flashes when I hide 

Accept the chains of loving 

Accept or else remove yourself from her side 

Do without her love 

And I lay back with a steel chain 

I keep it by my side 

I could mail a letter to you 

But I still have my pride 

Sick of hauling your love around 

Wanna run my 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 bone's gone dry 

And three times, I've seen the shooting shark 

Lighting up the sky 

Oh, it's a hard load to love you, baby 

It takes my breath away 

Fourth time round is the last time round 

There's nothing else to say
