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
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!

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
