Shell Games Bright Eyes

Took the fireworks and the vanity
The circuit board and the city streets
Shooting star, swaying palm tree
Laid them 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 comes, that heavy love
I'm never going to move it alone
Here it comes, that heavy love
Tag it on a tenement wall
Here it comes, that heavy love
Someone's got to share in the load
Here it comes, 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
