Blue Oyster Cult Veteran Of The Psychick Wars Lyrics

Veteran Of The Psychick Wars Lyrics

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
