Veteran of the Psychic Wars (Live at Hollywood Sportatorium, Pembroke Pines, FL - October 1981)

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 that 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 nowhen that I know And I can't stand forever 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 up our brains Oh please, don't let these shakes go on. You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars My energy is 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 men sliding into hell Oh please, don't let these shakes go on
