Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue Oyster Cult

作词：Eric Bloom

作曲：Eric Bloom

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 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
