Veteran Of The Psychick Wars Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars 

I've been living on the edge so long where the winds of limbo roar 

And I'm young enough to look at and far too old to see 

All the scars are on the inside, I'm not sure if there's anything left of me 

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it 

It's time we had some leave, we've been living in the flames 

We've been eating up our brains, oh please, don't let these shakes go on 

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you 

You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew 

But the war's still going on dear and there's no end that I know 

And I can't say if we're ever, I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free 

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it 

It's time we had some leave, we've been living in the flames 

We've been eating out our brains, oh please, don't let these shakes go on 

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars 

My energy's spent at last and my armor is destroyed 

I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved 

Wounds are all I'm made of, did I hear you say that this is victory? 

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it 

Send me to the rear where the tides of madness swell 

And been sliding into hell, oh please, don't let these shakes go on 

Don't let these shakes go on, don't let these shakes go on
