Shooting Shark

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 left a message
 It flashes when I hide
 Accept the chains of loving
 Accept or else remove yourself from her side
 And 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 bones gone dry
 And three times I've seen the shooting shark
 Lighting up the sky
 ♪
 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.
