Dance On Stilts Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
On the outside I'm in the high rise
Headin' for a meeting, shining up my greeting
See me in a white suit with a mirror tie
And you you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
And on the inside, I'm on my knees
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery
Too sick to stand, to try to understand
But you you-you-you
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
And no one suspects a thing
They're all hiding just the same
They ache for an outbound train
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
And you you-you-you
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
You elevate me
C'mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
You elevate me
Headin' for a meeting, shining up my greeting
See me in a white suit with a mirror tie
And you you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
And on the inside, I'm on my knees
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery
Too sick to stand, to try to understand
But you you-you-you
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
And no one suspects a thing
They're all hiding just the same
They ache for an outbound train
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
And you you-you-you
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You you-you-you
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
You elevate me
C'mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
You elevate me
Showtime Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Showtime...
Showtime...
People tell me I'm not getting younger in this place
The other guy in this room I'm sick of his face
And there's a guy who's watching me, it really is a drag
Hassling me on my way to work making license tags
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Showtime...
Showtime...
Eight long years to do, I've just finished two
These walls are a little bit tight
I'd rather be with you
Good behavior and I'll be out on parole
Or maybe I'll bust outta here, I'm losing self control
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Well i was young and in love, i pulled the perfect crime
You blew the whistle on me baby, and now I'm doing time
I guess you never loved me, you used me like a tool
And that guy out there with you, must think that I'm a fool
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here

The Old Gods Return Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Now is the time the moon is in alignment
With the unknown zodiac, the untold sign
Of the fiery maniac within each breast
Awaits a stirring irridescent whirring
Of a six eyed god whose wings beat
In a time so odd, so very odd
And we're all lost, all of us blessedly lost
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities back into hell
Now is the time that the old gods return
Now is the time that water begins to burn
Now is the time that the apes take wing
And we recognize them from that Oz thing
And we realize it was a prophecy
We realize it was a prophecy
Yeah the old gods laugh, it amuses them
The old gods laugh
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities...
And sweep our cities back into hell
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
With the unknown zodiac, the untold sign
Of the fiery maniac within each breast
Awaits a stirring irridescent whirring
Of a six eyed god whose wings beat
In a time so odd, so very odd
And we're all lost, all of us blessedly lost
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities back into hell
Now is the time that the old gods return
Now is the time that water begins to burn
Now is the time that the apes take wing
And we recognize them from that Oz thing
And we realize it was a prophecy
We realize it was a prophecy
Yeah the old gods laugh, it amuses them
The old gods laugh
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities...
And sweep our cities back into hell
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Pocket Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
The blossoms are falling,
Making a white path across the grass
Thunderheads are building, your skin tightens
And you wait for the flash
Across the street, the boys are laughing
As they wash each other's cars
They turn up the hip-hop
White boys
Rapping with the black stars
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Overhead a rumble, it's not thunder,
It's a 747
The postman grumbles, it's past eleven
The street is sixth
It should be seventh
You hear the chiming of the ice cream truck
Rambling like in a dream
I hear your footsteps behind me
The sweetest eddy in the stream
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Making a white path across the grass
Thunderheads are building, your skin tightens
And you wait for the flash
Across the street, the boys are laughing
As they wash each other's cars
They turn up the hip-hop
White boys
Rapping with the black stars
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Overhead a rumble, it's not thunder,
It's a 747
The postman grumbles, it's past eleven
The street is sixth
It should be seventh
You hear the chiming of the ice cream truck
Rambling like in a dream
I hear your footsteps behind me
The sweetest eddy in the stream
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
Are you in the pocket of the moment in this particular second
Screwed into the socket of the moment in this particular second
Where time cannot be reckoned
Are you in the pocket of the moment
One Step Ahead Of The Devil Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
You hear the hounds awailin'
As if the mountains groan
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail
You hear the lion replyin' to the stalker on your trail
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
You hear the darkness weeping
For those who fall tonight
That night you lay beside her, for once you almost slept
Until her slim blade glimmered near got you 'fore you leapt
Wish you could leave her livin but that's like guns and rust
You don't want it on your gun, it's just like you and trust
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
Somewhere, there's a refuge
Somewhere, a place to rest
Somewhere, there's a lover
Someday you'll pass the test
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
As if the mountains groan
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail
You hear the lion replyin' to the stalker on your trail
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
You hear the darkness weeping
For those who fall tonight
That night you lay beside her, for once you almost slept
Until her slim blade glimmered near got you 'fore you leapt
Wish you could leave her livin but that's like guns and rust
You don't want it on your gun, it's just like you and trust

And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
I Just Like To Be Bad Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
I knew her when she was a secretary
She always refused to get married
She tried not to smile or meet your eyes
She knew if she did you'd start those lies
I busted a sweat every day on the dock
She sang to herself as she worked for the boss
She'd process words to the dance music station
Every stroke of her fingers an invitation
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
And I kept trying whisperin' slow and special
Something eternal and something essential
I don't give up but I ain't a stalker
I guess I'm just an easy talker
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
And I made sure that I held her gaze
And I made sure she couldn't look away
And I put aside all those tired old lies
She read the truth, see it in my eyes
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you, babe I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be for only you I just like to be bad
She always refused to get married
She tried not to smile or meet your eyes
She knew if she did you'd start those lies
I busted a sweat every day on the dock
She sang to herself as she worked for the boss
She'd process words to the dance music station
Every stroke of her fingers an invitation
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
And I kept trying whisperin' slow and special
Something eternal and something essential
I don't give up but I ain't a stalker
I guess I'm just an easy talker
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
And I made sure that I held her gaze
And I made sure she couldn't look away
And I put aside all those tired old lies
She read the truth, see it in my eyes
She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands
But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you, babe I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be for only you I just like to be bad
Here Comes That Feeling Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Drivin' alone into the darkness
I heard you call my name
And the roar of the engine
Is calling me to blame
Tears in my mirror cryin' for the people behind us
But I know I won't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
And I know there's a place inside of my heart
That the road will never find
And I'm afraid the approaching headlights
Will someday leave me blind
You shatter the mirror
Fight off the forces that drive me on tonight
I won't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
Baby, climb into the night time
Girl, this moment is the right time
Drivin' on and I'm still hungry
To make the next town
And this road's the only
thing that could bring us down
If it keeps me driving
I swear I'll never leave you behind
And I know I can't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
Here comes that feeling again
Here comes that feeling again
I heard you call my name
And the roar of the engine
Is calling me to blame
Tears in my mirror cryin' for the people behind us
But I know I won't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
And I know there's a place inside of my heart
That the road will never find
And I'm afraid the approaching headlights
Will someday leave me blind
You shatter the mirror
Fight off the forces that drive me on tonight
I won't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
Baby, climb into the night time
Girl, this moment is the right time
Drivin' on and I'm still hungry
To make the next town
And this road's the only
thing that could bring us down
If it keeps me driving
I swear I'll never leave you behind
And I know I can't let you go, oh no
Here comes that feeling again
I'm wrapping my dreams around you
And our love is healin' again
After all we've been through
Here comes that feeling again
Here comes that feeling again
Out Of The Darkness Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Out of the darkness out of the dustcloud
Follow the thread and then trace your way free
Your father, your mother have bound you in darkness
Have blinded you sweetly and so far from me
They cannot abide me, your father and mother
But they cannot divide me from the one other than me
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Now come to the window, now wipe away raindrops
See there a scarecrow who waves through the mist
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Your mother, your father, they live in their heart break
They remember each other and they turn you from me
Your mother, your father they hate me for your sake
But they cannot divide us, no I won't let it be
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Follow the thread and then trace your way free
Your father, your mother have bound you in darkness
Have blinded you sweetly and so far from me
They cannot abide me, your father and mother
But they cannot divide me from the one other than me
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Now come to the window, now wipe away raindrops
See there a scarecrow who waves through the mist
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
Only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Your mother, your father, they live in their heart break
They remember each other and they turn you from me
Your mother, your father they hate me for your sake
But they cannot divide us, no I won't let it be
I am that dim form, I raise my right hand
A rag in a rainstorm, the chance that you've missed
The door opens both ways, the door opens outward
My heart contains always the one time we kissed
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
The only one other, only one other
Only one other has meaning for me
Only one other beside my own soul
You are that other with meaning for me
Stone Of Love Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
There is a box that I have shown
And in the box the games of god
There is a fox that I have known
And in its heart the blood is hard
Its heart is but a stone
There is a chain that I have worn
And on the chain a thorn is hung
There is a pain forever borne
That sings a song forever sung
The song is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
There is a ledge beside a dome
And on the ledge adventures dance
There is an edge that is your home
And on the edge breathes true romance
There is a voice without a sound
Whose wisdom speaks in foolish rhyme
There is a choice that I have found
Between the fear and safer time
The choice is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
And in the box the games of god
There is a fox that I have known
And in its heart the blood is hard
Its heart is but a stone
There is a chain that I have worn
And on the chain a thorn is hung
There is a pain forever borne
That sings a song forever sung
The song is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
There is a ledge beside a dome
And on the ledge adventures dance
There is an edge that is your home
And on the edge breathes true romance
There is a voice without a sound
Whose wisdom speaks in foolish rhyme
There is a choice that I have found
Between the fear and safer time
The choice is but a stone
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Stone of love
Eye Of The Hurricane Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Sometimes I let it take me like a greased and vertical sled
I know the trick won't break me, it's all dancing in my head
People think that they can change most people it ain't true
It's easy to talk about change, ain't easy followin' through
Once it starts, it has to finish, once it rolls, it's gonna crash
You know it finds its limit, today's heroes tomorrow's trash
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me
Cause there's an eye to my hurricane
People fly around me like dead leaves in high wind
They stream down the choking streets and never quite reach the end
Sometimes I wear a blue buzzsaw, I wear it like mohawk steel
Sometimes I ride my fatal flaw blindfolded, do it by feel
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me
Cause there's an eye to my hurricane
Sometimes I wear a blue buzzsaw, I wear it like mohawk steel
Sometimes I ride my fatal flaw blindfolded, do it by feel
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me
Cause there's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
I know the trick won't break me, it's all dancing in my head
People think that they can change most people it ain't true
It's easy to talk about change, ain't easy followin' through
Once it starts, it has to finish, once it rolls, it's gonna crash
You know it finds its limit, today's heroes tomorrow's trash
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me
Cause there's an eye to my hurricane
People fly around me like dead leaves in high wind
They stream down the choking streets and never quite reach the end
Sometimes I wear a blue buzzsaw, I wear it like mohawk steel
Sometimes I ride my fatal flaw blindfolded, do it by feel
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me

Sometimes I wear a blue buzzsaw, I wear it like mohawk steel
Sometimes I ride my fatal flaw blindfolded, do it by feel
He never blinks, he never blinks, he doesn't care what you think
Cause there's an eye in my hurricane
There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me
Cause there's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
There's an eye to my hurricane
Good To Feel Hungry Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
It's good to feel hungry when you're about to eat well
It's good to be angry when you're ready to yell
It's good to be angry
It's good to feel certain even when you're not right
Sweep back the curtain and let in some light
If there is any light
She calls me, she summons me with a purr
And no amount of cryin' will set me free from her
And only deep feeling, finding my way into feeling
Only just being, will free me from her
Sometimes I flirt with despair, as if she were a lady
A pale and black-haired lady
A cool and bloodless lady, yeah
Good to feel, good to feel it's good to feel damn good to feel
Good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
It's good to be angry when you're ready to yell
It's good to be angry
It's good to feel certain even when you're not right
Sweep back the curtain and let in some light
If there is any light
She calls me, she summons me with a purr
And no amount of cryin' will set me free from her
And only deep feeling, finding my way into feeling
Only just being, will free me from her
Sometimes I flirt with despair, as if she were a lady
A pale and black-haired lady
A cool and bloodless lady, yeah
Good to feel, good to feel it's good to feel damn good to feel
Good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
See You In Black Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
I'd like to see you in black
It'd make me feel like your husband's dead
I'd like to see you in black
We could make him suffer instead
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
You can't lie to me Ann
You can't pretend he isn't beating you up
I saw the marks on your hands
I saw the blood on your coffee cup
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
The wind plucks your black lace gown
You're standin' proudly beside his grave
I see you wearing black
Gently smiling and oh so brave
We'll run away to Greece
We'll walk the ruins of the Parthenon
We'll drink ouzo in our tub
Watch the dust billow 'til the night's gone
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd love to see you in black I'd love to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
In black
In black
It'd make me feel like your husband's dead
I'd like to see you in black
We could make him suffer instead
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
You can't lie to me Ann
You can't pretend he isn't beating you up
I saw the marks on your hands
I saw the blood on your coffee cup
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
The wind plucks your black lace gown
You're standin' proudly beside his grave
I see you wearing black
Gently smiling and oh so brave
We'll run away to Greece
We'll walk the ruins of the Parthenon
We'll drink ouzo in our tub
Watch the dust billow 'til the night's gone
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd love to see you in black I'd love to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
In black
In black
Harvest Moon Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
This place has a history
The Spaniards settled here
They burned the town and fields
They moved away from here
My grandma often told me
She knew it peaceful here
The war took all the vigor
War took the best from here
Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns
Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here Harvest moon
A change in the weather
I love this time of year Harvest moon
The Cobys worked that valley
They gave that land a go
They built a thriving business
Then came that early snow
They lost their livestock that year
They lost their sheep and goats
They sold the farm in springtime
Went south to work the boats
Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns
Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here Harvest moon
A change in the weather
I love this time of year Harvest moon
Ten years in this farmhouse
Ten years come this May
My simple needs are covered
Since grandma passed away
Long time since there's been trouble
That's what the people say
I told the new man when I
Sold the farm today
Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns
Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here Harvest moon
A change in the weather
I feel some evil here Harvest moon
I hear some frightful noises
I don't go out at night Harvest moon
Since Bobrow's youngest daughter
Disappeared from sight Harvest moon
I know they'll find her some day
They find them all that way Harvest moon
After the thaw in springtime
The snow melts away Harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
The Spaniards settled here
They burned the town and fields
They moved away from here
My grandma often told me
She knew it peaceful here
The war took all the vigor
War took the best from here
Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns
Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here Harvest moon

Power Underneath Dispair Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
You boys are surprised to see me
Never thought I'd get out of jail
Took eight long years to spring me
And two hours to ride the rail
Took only thirty minutes to find you
Asking every snake slithering the street
"Where's the man with the golden tattoo?
The man who let me take the heat?"
You're surprised in your neon lair
By the power underneath despair
Power underneath
Power underneath
Power underneath despair
Power underneath There's a power
Power underneath
Power underneath despair
Power underneath There's a power
Power underneath Yeah the
Power underneath despair
Power underneath There's a power
Power underneath
Power underneath despair
In solitary for two steel years
Thought of you sixty times an hour
Fighting madness and fighting despair
Digging the hidden power
Thought about you in the yard
When your punk slipped me the blade
Thought about you in the hospital ward
When I gave it back to him in trade
And my smile is the last sight you'll see
As you feel the power from inside of me
Power underneath
Power underneath There's a
Power underneath despair
Power underneath

X-Ray Eyes Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
In the '50s Ray Milland pierced the skies
Do not envy who sees and plucks out his eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
You think you want
You want to see
Through all the lies
You think you'd like
To see past death
With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes
X-ray eyes x-ray eyes
X-ray eyes x-ray eyes
Do not envy who sees beyond the pale
Don't look there, pluck not at nature's veil
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
You think you want
To see the truth
But if you knew
You can't undo
You'd look away
With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes
X-ray eyes x-ray eyes
X-ray eyes x-ray eyes
Do not lift the veil of the skies
Do not lift the veil of the skies
Do not lift the veil of the skies
Do not lift the veil of the skies
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes
With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes
X-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
In the '50s Ray Milland pierced the skies
Do not envy who sees and plucks out his eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
You think you want
You want to see

With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes
Hammer Back Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Step into a world of strangers
Into a sea of unknowns
Even friends potential danger
Secrets wound around their bones
Everybody else has got one
Packin' high caliber heat
If you don't wanna be dancin'
You don't dare miss the beat
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Maybe at a Seven-Eleven
Maybe at a quick carjack
You'll verify there ain't a heaven
If you don't keep the hammer back
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Hammer back, hammer back
Ha ha ha
Into a sea of unknowns
Even friends potential danger
Secrets wound around their bones
Everybody else has got one
Packin' high caliber heat
If you don't wanna be dancin'
You don't dare miss the beat
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Maybe at a Seven-Eleven

You'll verify there ain't a heaven
If you don't keep the hammer back

Damaged Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Wish I was a better person
With more control
Turn the other cheek
When the punch comes, roll
Wish I was a kinder person
Could see the other's pain
Not overreact, never judge
Shrug off the spreadin' stain
But I'm a howler monkey
Moreau's half & half-man
A panther with its tail in a trap
A pumped up pyramid of pulsing glands
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
I'm damaged, and I like it
I live for rock 'n' roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
Yeah, I told girlfriend I was gonna change
Gonna kick the habit and the taste
Trust me baby, this time it's real
There's a big part of me I've yet to waste
Don't give up baby, don't turn your back
I ain't no wailin' lost cause
I'll toss the pipe and heal the tracks
As long as you don't mind the blood
On my hands, drippin' down the back that's right
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
I'm damaged, and I like it
I live for rock 'n' roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
D-a-m-a-g-e-d damaged is what I am
D-a-m-a-g-e-d damaged is what I am
D-a-m-a-g-e-d damaged is what I am
D-a-m-a-g-e-d
What I am
And I like it
I live for rock 'n' roll
I'm damaged, and I like it
It thrills me to the soul
I'm damaged, and I like it
It made me what I am
I'm damaged, and I like it
The rest is just a sham
Yeah!
Go!
With more control
Turn the other cheek
When the punch comes, roll
Wish I was a kinder person
Could see the other's pain
Not overreact, never judge
Shrug off the spreadin' stain
But I'm a howler monkey
Moreau's half & half-man
A panther with its tail in a trap
A pumped up pyramid of pulsing glands
I'm damaged, and I like it

Cold Grey Light Of Dawn Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
That endless light
Casts only one shadow
The cold grey light
By the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness
Knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiven dawn
Will only spotlight your guilt
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
You call up Emmy
You've rehearsed the lines
But she knows about Judy
She knows you're lying
Put your foot in it, yeah
It's getting caught
Leave it in long enough, yeah
It starts to rot
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
No matter what you did
No matter who you are
In the fading light
From a middle aged star
You've seen every blemish
Every sign of age
And it's useless to whine
And it's useless to rage
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth
Anymore
Hide the truth anymore
Casts only one shadow
The cold grey light
By the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness
Knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiven dawn
Will only spotlight your guilt
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
You call up Emmy
You've rehearsed the lines
But she knows about Judy
She knows you're lying
Put your foot in it, yeah
It's getting caught
Leave it in long enough, yeah
It starts to rot
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
No matter what you did
No matter who you are
In the fading light
From a middle aged star
You've seen every blemish
Every sign of age
And it's useless to whine
And it's useless to rage
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth
Anymore
Hide the truth anymore
Real World Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Rains of fish and rains of frogs
Arias sung by mongrel dogs
Whispers from the desert stones
Divinations in lizard bones
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Yeah
Discs that stretch into cigars
Angels buy drinks in skid row bars
Virgin mary winks from the sky
Trees twist into secret signs
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Strange We think our lives are real
Strange Amusement parks, our business deals
Strange Stranger still our empty lives
TV replacing kids and wife
Strange Lives consumed with soapy talk
Lives lived in fear of taking a walk
Oh the real world is bizarre enough for me
Oh the real world - bizarre enough for me
We're drifting in the waiting room
Call it real, but call me real soon
The world is living Gaia's at hand
Hear her laughing in earthquake land
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Reaching out
Arias sung by mongrel dogs
Whispers from the desert stones
Divinations in lizard bones
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Yeah
Discs that stretch into cigars
Angels buy drinks in skid row bars
Virgin mary winks from the sky
Trees twist into secret signs
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond

Live For Me Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
It was a wet night
And the other guy
Was lubricated with a pint of Jack
His truck hit
Jimmy's chevy
With a sound like a thunder crack
I was working late but I felt it happen
I knew that my brother was laid low
I waited for the call
And then the damn call came
And I knew what I knew and didn't want to know
Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong
Beth thought he would make it through the winter
I never really thought so myself
The dark spirit was always hoverin' nearer
And I knew in my heart there was just no help
When he called me to the bed
Took my hand to say goodbye
He said he wouldn't blame nobody
Said he wouldn't ask the Lord why
And when he passed on
A March wind blew
Sun drew away a veil of cloud
We buried him smiling
We buried him deep
And I could hear him sayin' right out loud
Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong
Brother, don't do no one wrong
And the other guy
Was lubricated with a pint of Jack
His truck hit
Jimmy's chevy
With a sound like a thunder crack
I was working late but I felt it happen
I knew that my brother was laid low
I waited for the call
And then the damn call came
And I knew what I knew and didn't want to know
Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me

Brother, don't do no one wrong

In Thee Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Maybe I'll see you again baby
And maybe I won't
Maybe you've bought your ticket
Gone back to Detroit
Airplanes make strangers of us all
Give us distance
Much too easily.
Jim says some destinies
Should not be delivered
But you and I seen now baby
That still they are
Winning it makes losers of us all
'Cause the dice roll
So indifferently.
[Chorus:]
Well, I'll wrap myself in cities I travel
I'll wrap myself in dreams
I'll wrap myself in solitude
["stranger's arms" for 3rd chorus]
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee.
Tonight it's hot, without you
Tomorrow'll be cold
Winter will come along
Driven by snow
Love it makes strangers of us all
When we part
Oh so thoughtlessly
[Chorus]
Once we breathed the breath
Of sweet surrender
Pure, pure Arab air filled our
Atmosphere
But pride it makes stars of us all
Until we fall
For everyone to see.
[Chorus 2x]
And maybe I won't
Maybe you've bought your ticket
Gone back to Detroit
Airplanes make strangers of us all
Give us distance
Much too easily.
Jim says some destinies
Should not be delivered
But you and I seen now baby
That still they are
Winning it makes losers of us all
'Cause the dice roll
So indifferently.
[Chorus:]
Well, I'll wrap myself in cities I travel
I'll wrap myself in dreams
I'll wrap myself in solitude
["stranger's arms" for 3rd chorus]
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee.
Tonight it's hot, without you
Tomorrow'll be cold
Winter will come along
Driven by snow
Love it makes strangers of us all
When we part
Oh so thoughtlessly
[Chorus]
Once we breathed the breath
Of sweet surrender
Pure, pure Arab air filled our
Atmosphere
But pride it makes stars of us all
Until we fall
For everyone to see.
[Chorus 2x]
I Am The One You Warned Me Of Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Fresh from zones of moisture
And afterwards the meat
With spangles on my long-tailed suits
And songs to haunt the one that's saved
Just call me Desdinova
I'm sure to be
The lucky one
When destiny assigns wisdom
Known to me
The starry wisdom
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
The writing in the notebook
Notation from the stars
Songs by Desdinova
And frost warnings from the women's farm
Whose agents could not ever see
His hilly eyes and too green rings
Obscured sight and fancy dreams
Holy mass, those 13 fancy dreams
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
Eyes like bottles and hands in my hair
Bottles of blackness the blacker the spare
I'll sit myself behind that clock
And play tunes on its belfry
Five fingers have I to play them like ten
Ten fingers have I to play them again
In decimal chains whose mimic cry
Whose notes will never, never fly
Until they quit those timely tunes
And entered that system from outside
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
And afterwards the meat
With spangles on my long-tailed suits
And songs to haunt the one that's saved
Just call me Desdinova
I'm sure to be
The lucky one
When destiny assigns wisdom
Known to me
The starry wisdom
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
The writing in the notebook
Notation from the stars
Songs by Desdinova
And frost warnings from the women's farm
Whose agents could not ever see
His hilly eyes and too green rings
Obscured sight and fancy dreams
Holy mass, those 13 fancy dreams
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
Eyes like bottles and hands in my hair
Bottles of blackness the blacker the spare
I'll sit myself behind that clock
And play tunes on its belfry
Five fingers have I to play them like ten
Ten fingers have I to play them again
In decimal chains whose mimic cry
Whose notes will never, never fly
Until they quit those timely tunes
And entered that system from outside
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
Les Invisibles Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Along the world axis
The Empress lay sleeping
To the rhyme of the, of the, of the star clock
Seven sleepers
Seven sages
Seven ladders to the, to the
Seventh heaven
Seven stars
Had Ursa Major
Tables turning, turning
And rain maker
While the seven
The visitors
All went, all went
A drumming
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
Salute the Four Quarters
Before I leave your eyes
Twinned in the mirror
Les Mesteres come
End me adoration
Before I leave your eyes
World in the mirror
Waters of amnesia come
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
The court of Eve
Beneath the Polar Mountain
Rose cross and crosser there
Symbols of the swan
Aerial races
In rotation over
The magical casement
Visions of a parallel world
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
The Empress lay sleeping
To the rhyme of the, of the, of the star clock
Seven sleepers
Seven sages
Seven ladders to the, to the
Seventh heaven
Seven stars
Had Ursa Major
Tables turning, turning
And rain maker
While the seven
The visitors
All went, all went
A drumming
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
Salute the Four Quarters
Before I leave your eyes
Twinned in the mirror
Les Mesteres come
End me adoration
Before I leave your eyes
World in the mirror
Waters of amnesia come
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
The court of Eve
Beneath the Polar Mountain
Rose cross and crosser there
Symbols of the swan
Aerial races
In rotation over
The magical casement
Visions of a parallel world
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre

In The Presence Of Another World Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
Your master he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
Your master.....Your master is a monster
Your master.....Born of a yolkless egg
Your master.....He has dominion over animals
Your master.....He walks the world Entrail diviner
Your master.....And when the stars are right
Your master.....He locks the door behind the door behind the door
Your master.....The milky way abyss inclines
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master is a monster
And gentlemanly too
He'll make for us some new germ
With pieces of the perfect black
The alpha and omega
The double peaks of Mars
The maze of his infinity
The buried city
In the stars
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
Your master he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
Your master.....Your master is a monster
Your master.....Born of a yolkless egg
Your master.....He has dominion over animals
Your master.....He walks the world Entrail diviner
Your master.....And when the stars are right
Your master.....He locks the door behind the door behind the door
Your master.....The milky way abyss inclines
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master is a monster
And gentlemanly too
He'll make for us some new germ
With pieces of the perfect black
The alpha and omega
The double peaks of Mars
The maze of his infinity
The buried city
In the stars
Del Rio's Song Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio's song.......Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough
To call in touch that outer frame
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
Which opens up on the way to Blindman's Bluff
A suburb now of River Roads
Where quandry and sublime improve
The sight whose imagery
Is sometimes that of fear
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio's song.......Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough
To shut the gates of walled town walls
And putting up some good rum punch
Forget the way to Blindman's Bluff
So packed with eyes
That glow like coals
And pointing towards the North
Oh my boat left New Orleans in 1829!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
My destination is a secret
And the doctrine is soft
And just between the verse and me
It's a place where you can see
Lost, last and luminous
Scored to sky yet never found
Relics of jewels
And ant-track tools
A true ghost dance
Rehearsal Ground
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio's song.......Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio's song.......Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
When time gets slow, and rivers freeze
I think you'd know enough
To call in touch that outer frame
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
Which opens up on the way to Blindman's Bluff
A suburb now of River Roads
Where quandry and sublime improve
The sight whose imagery
Is sometimes that of fear
I've lived upon
The edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean

Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
Del Rio's Song..........Oh, Del Rio
