That Was Me lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
You see those bullet holes in highway signs
That was me
When you see a broken bottle of real fine wine
That was me
When a woman weeps at a window
Turns all shiny black widow
Think of me
Was done by me
Yessiree
That was me
You'll feel me in the urban breeze
I'll be there when the moment's seized
I'm the saddened man that the ladies tease
Yeah, my darlin', that is me
Oh yeah, it's still me
That was me
When you see a slowly spreading crack
That was me
And when nothing else is left intact
That was me
When you come across a burning shack
When you're following the bloody tracks
Think of me
'Cause that was me
Yessiree
Think of me
You'll feel me in the urban breeze
I'll be there when the moment's seized
I'm the saddened man that the ladies tease
Yeah, my darlin', that is me
Whoa yeah, it's still me
That was me
My own life is a clutter of regrets
Way too big for the door
Can't get 'em out of this house yet
Only breaking down these walls
You'll feel me in the urban breeze
I'll be there when the moment's seized
I'm the saddened man that the ladies tease
Yeah, my darlin', that is me
Oh yeah, it's still me
That was me
That was me
It's still me
Yeah, that was me
It's still me
Oh yeah, that was me
Box In My Head lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
You say you wanna know me
Want me to open up
You'd like to see inside me
Taste the contents of the cup
I'm gonna give you a chance
To open me up and see
Just step around behind me
And take this ivory key
Do you see the keyhole
In the back of my head?
Put the key in gently
Like a lover in bed
Turn the key my darling
Open up that little door
See the silver box there
Wonder what it's got in store
There's a box in my head and inside is a box
And that box has another box within
There's a box in my skull (box), my skull is a box
And there's room for us both
To go in there, a box in my head
And inside is a box, another box within
There's a box in my skull (box), my skull is a box
And there's room for us both
To go in
Reach into the cabinet
That people call a skull
Is the glass half empty
Is the skull half full
Watch out for the mousetrap
Careful of the hooks
Pull the box out carefully
Hold your breath and look
Is it a disappointment
To find another box?
Don't you give up easily
You'll have to pick the lock
Open up enigmas
You'll find mysteries
There you'll finally find me
When you reach eternity
'Cause there's a box in my head and inside is a box
And that box has another box within
There's a box in my skull (box), my skull is a box
And there's room for us both
To go in there, a box in my head
And inside is a box (box), another box within (yeah)
There's a box in my skull, my skull is a box
And there's room for us both
To go in
Tainted Blood lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
We danced among the mortals blind to their despair
As the sweet scent of certainty fills the midnight air
I offer first taste to my love as is our way
Tainted blood, she cries and dies, my whole world fades away
No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery
Throughout the many years our lives were oh so sweet
But this tainted blood has taken everything from me
No place for me within this world, the dance is done
No reason to remain, you were the only one
No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery
No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
There's nothing, nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Nightmare Epiphany lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Dahlia floated like chimney ash
Up into a shredded sky
It was raining acidic trash
On the moon there crawled a fly
Burning Teslas were driving by
At their wheels, evil clowns
And from the darkness there came a howling
And somehow it called her down
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
Then she saw him howling fury
As he struggled with elastic chains
And his parents smiled coldly
As they shackled him down again
There were leeches that were spiders
And spiders that were flies
The very stones that were his teachers
Laughed in Mockery
Then sweet Dahlia reached out to him
And she tried to pull him free
But the fallen angels that ran the place
Enfolded him with monstrous glee
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
Then Dahlia woke in clinging sheets
Her fever broke but the dream remained
She couldn't forget it though a season passed
She wouldn't let it slip away
And then she met him down at the mall
On the edge of the parking lot
Seems that he went to her school
She was popular, he was not
"I remember" (He told her then)
"I'll never forget the dream of chains
You tried to help me, tried to descend
Offered me something besides my pain
And now I've found you
In this concrete world
That only fools believe exists
See I knew that you belonged to me
In my nightmare epiphany"
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our nightmare) Our Nightmare Epiphany
(Our bad dream) Our Nightmare Epiphany
Edge Of The World lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
How many truths can you hold on to?
How many lies have you been told?
How many times have you been under
Another system of control?
Trusting everything you read
Lost in your conspiracies
I want to believe
Cover-ups and blacked-out lines
Everything is classified
Follow me down the rabbit hole
You want the facts? Now listen to me
Only the truth can set you free
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
Forget what you learned
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
You'll never return
The second time I was abducted
I tried so hard to stay aware
With all their evil drugs coursing through my veins
I lost my inhibitions to the darkness in their stare
Trusting everything you read
Lost in your conspiracies
I want to believe
Cover-ups and blacked-out lines
Everything is classified
Follow me down the rabbit hole
You want the facts? Now listen to me
Only the truth can set you free
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
Forget what you learned
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
You'll never return
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
You'll never return
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
Forget what you learned
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
You'll never return
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
Forget what you learned
Meet me at the edge of the world
To watch it all burn
You'll never return
You'll never never never return
Edge of the World
I want to believe
Edge of the World
Edge of the World
I want to believe
Edge of the World
The Machine lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
I remember the first time I saw you
I couldn't believe my own eyes
You were cold to the touch but I needed you so much in my life
Oh you showed me a world full of wonder
Your voice held all of the answers I sought
When I lost my way you never lead me astray or so I thought
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down
And I think they're nothing like me
And when I tried to turn you off you just remind me you're the boss
And I cave
I'm a slave to the machine
Now we're living the dream
Eyes never leaving the screen
Floating away in a stream
To the machine
You're the first thing I see every morning
Your soft glow bids me good night
You sing to me and in darkness you bring me the light
You send a little chill through my body
Just to remind me you're there
If I left you behind I would move mountains to find you anywhere
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down
And I think they're nothing like me
And when I tried to turn you off you just remind me you're the boss
And I cave
I'm a slave to the machine
Now we're living the dream
Eyes never leaving the screen
Floating away in a stream
To the machine
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down
And I think they're nothing like me
And when I tried to turn you off you just remind me you're the boss
And I cave
I'm a slave to the machine
Now we're living the dream
Eyes never leaving the screen
Floating away in a stream
To the machine
Now we're living the dream
Eyes never leaving the screen
Floating away in a stream
To the machine
Train True (Lennie's Song) lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Well, I was standing on the train tracks on a midnight blue trying to remember where I left my shoes and in a natural way, my thoughts returned to you
So I walked into a honky-tonk jukebox saloon to reflect on my losses and rock to some tunes
I thought it all through then I figured out what to do
I'd start working for the train, train, feedly-dang
Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do
Feedle-otten deeten-do ding-train-true
I started working for the train when I was looking for you
Sprung from the ward
Steel brainpan, pity pity
Looked you up in Freehold for a face that I could trust
The foreman said you'd left out in some kind of a state He pointed at the office it was already late
I smoothed down my hair and went to talk to the boss He was weary, short-tempered and had one eye on the clock
He said I had just seconds to make my case I put one hand on his shoulder
And stuck the other in his face
And I said:
"Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static."
He said, "Son, I don't think you have that much of a brain."
I said, "You've got to have a brain when you're working for the train."
It's a long run to Trenton when you start about five Some folks are tired and hungry some are barely alive
But when that engine starts pumping those familiar tones I don't care where the train is going 'cause I'm already home
I spent a long year
Dancing up and down that aisle
Pestering my savior just to
Let me see your smile
The salesman was drunk
My training shot to the fore
I put my shoulder in his gut
And knocked his samples on the floor
And I said:
"Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static."
He said, "Sir, I don't think you've got that much of a brain."
I said, "You've got to have a brain when you're working for the train."
The Princeton Junction depot
Is straight known to be staid
They wear hound's-tooth and khaki
Most have already paid
I looked under my visor my heart stopped like it got froze lipstick like a sixties Vette and polish on your toes
You had half of a smile watching me shakin' like a hound as triumph seized my body missing love had been found
And I said:
"Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static.
She said some folks say
You don't have much of a brain."
But you've got to have a brain
'Cause you're working for the train."
Train, train, feedly-dang
Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do
Feedle-otten deeten-do ding-train-true
I started working for the train when I was looking for you
I whooped and called "Metuchen"
As I stepped through the door I put my hands around your hips and kissed you then and ever more
And I said:
"Feelings, feelings, are somewhat symptomatic of societal abrasions that conform electric static.
She said some folks say
You don't have much of a brain."
But you've got to have a brain
'Cause you're working for the train."
Train, train, feedly-dang
Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do
Feedle-otten deeten-do ding-train-true
I started working for the train when I was looking for you
Train, train, feedly-dang
Feedle-otten deeten-do dangy-do
Feedle-otten deeten-do ding-train-true
I started working for the train and now I've finally found you
I've finally found you
I've finally found you
I've finally found you
The Return Of St. Cecilia lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Well she weren't so little
And she wasn't really nice
We all thought she was a goner
'Til she was sighted once or twice
Pretty as a picture
But the picture finally cracked
Her whole world got dead and buried
Now she's come a-crawling back
Cecilia
Cecilia, I never dug your trip
Cecilia
Cecilia! Is that a vaper on your lip?
Saint C
Y'know it's time you faced the news
Cecilia
Blessed lady, nobody ever dug your blues
Back back
Back back. You slipped the cracks
Click clack. My God she's back on track
CeeCee
CeeCee, why'd you paint us black?
Look back
All the time you stabbed our back
(And that's a fact)
How she ever got her sainthood kind of never made no sense
There were two strikes in her favor and eighty-eight strikes against
Squandered her credentials guzzling canned heat with the boys
She said she heard sweet, sweet music
But all she was hearing was noise
Cecilia
Cecilia, I never dug your trip
Cecilia
Cecilia! Is that a vaper on your lip?
Saint C
Y'know it's time you faced the news
Cecilia
Blessed lady, nobody ever dug your blues
Back back
Back back. You slipped the cracks
Click clack. My God she's back on track
CeeCee
CeeCee, why'd you paint us black?
Look back
All the time you stabbed our back
(And that's a fact)
Cecilia, is that you
Or just a shadow?
Cecilia, tell me true
We heard you got your head bust out in Colorado
Goodbye Cecilia, my friend
If I ever should see you
It won't be the end
Stand And Fight lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
A fiery light in the middle of the night took away all that we knew
The surviving few knew what they must do with nothing left to lose
They came from the north they came from the south, unlikely brothers forced to unite This ragtag crew gathered and grew, against all odds they must fight
Stand and Fight it's do or die
A call to arms, it's you and I
Stand and fight, for victory
We're gonna make our own history
Into the fray, as battles rage
They fought together as one
The colors fade, they only see shades
Of dirt, of bone, of blood
They came from the east, they came from the west, finally turning the tide
And in this place, the human race found the will to survive
Stand and Fight it's do or die
A call to arms, it's you and I
Stand and fight, for victory
We're gonna make our own history
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Stand and Fight it's do or die
A call to arms, it's you and I
Stand and fight, for victory
We're gonna make our own history
Stand and Fight it's do or die
A call to arms, it's you and I
Stand and fight, for victory
We're gonna make our own history
Stand and Fight, hey hey
Stand and Fight, hey hey
Stand and Fight, hey hey
Stand and Fight, hey hey
Stand and Fight
Stand and Fight
Florida Man lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Should you settle down in the Sunshine State
You should know of its tangled fate
How the conquistador came to Florida
Long before it had a name
The medicine man of the Seminole
Knelt by the sacred flame, and cursed the soul
Of the conquistador
And his son, and his sons, and the young ones...
Of the Florida Man
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man
Down at the mall, where the boas crawl
Ted makes love to a concrete wall
His brother Red said his Uncle Ned
Found Elvis in a loaf of bread
(Florida Man!)
High on meth there's little Beth
The neighbor's cat is on her breath
(Florida Man!)
Dan dreams he's got red wings of fire
He's waking an' shaking on a power wire
Florida Man (Florida Man)
(He's cursed)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man
Slim sees his face on a moonlit wave
He grabs a shovel, and digs his own grave
(Florida Man!)
Lee hates plate glass, he drives right through it
Said Alice's caterpillar made him do it
(Florida Man!)
A Miami nurse snatches a purse
And drives down the freeway in reverse
(Florida Man!)
Phil asks the cops to test his drugs
After they find him hiding under a rug
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
(He's cursed)
Florida Man (Florida Man)
Florida Man
Don't you laugh, it could be you
The Florida curse always comes true
You can jeer but you don't understand
Any fragile soul can be a Florida Man
The Alchemist lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
I've walked a path of darkness just to open up my mind
I've learned of hidden secrets scattered through the depths of time
And at my father's side I witnessed things I can't describe
"They must be evil!" the people cried
So when the prince went missing and the mob was at our door
The king would not see reason, only vengeance, only war
My father's neck held in his grip until he was no more
But the prince was still alive
And I said
"May never a noble of your murderous line
Survive to reach a greater age than thine."
Because I'm the alchemist creator of your fears
I'm the sorcerer a curse throughout the years
And I won't rest 'til no one's left
The ending of your line
Their lives are a prison of my design
Through the generations they'd forgotten of my vow
But still my will be done, my curse stays stronger even now
A tragic fall, a fatal brawl, all "accidents" each time
"Oh why must the young kings die?"
"May never a noble of your murderous line
Survive to reach a greater age than thine
It was I, the alchemist creator of their fears
It was I, the sorcerer a curse throughout the years
You won't escape your tragic fate
The ending of your line
Your life is a prison of my design
The final king's obsession to escape impending doom
Reached beneath the castle walls where he chanced upon a room
And there he found his enemy, the man who cheated death
And I said with my last breath
"It was I, the alchemist creator of your fears
It was I, the sorcerer. I've waited all these years
And when you pass you'll be the last
A victim of your line
Your life was a prison of my design."
I'm the alchemist, I've lived a dozen lives
I'm the sorcerer, the face of your demise
And from these walls, I've made you all believe this curse of mine
The engineer of all you fear, the terror in your mind
I've sacrificed eternal life for justice for the crime
Our lives were a prison of my design
Secret Road lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
I wish I could tell you that you'll get a break but there's no way to tell just what it would take one thing
I can tell you is how the world will end it'll end with a whimper and not with a bang
I'm sorry but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still there's something better for you
There's something better for you
There's a secret road
If God had a heart that touched each and everyone
We would reach for each other instead of a knife or gun
We're like a harvest, our life the staff
Some of us are wheat and some of us chaff
And I'm sorry but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still there's something better for you
There's something better for you
There's a secret road a secret road
Some people get trapped in the rut and surrender their will
Those people don't make the cut let's hope they ate their fill
Some people make it, they learn the trick
They make it to the song and they rock in the final mix
And I'm sorry but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still there's something better for you
There's something better for you
There's a secret road a secret road
If you know how to choose
If you're aware enough to choose
There's a secret road for you
A secret road for you
A secret road
There's A Crime lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
There's a crime going down at my door
Baby, at my door
There's a girl that I know
We don't talk no more
We don't talk no more
There's a crime going down... going down
Going down
There's a passion in her heart that I don't know
That I don't know
There's a feeling in her eyes saying "Please don't go"
"Oh, baby, please don't go"
There's a crime going down... going down
Going down
There's a crime going down
It's a shame that she's gone
I'm gonna miss her so
I'm gonna miss her so
I'm to blame for the crime of robbing her soul
Of robbing her soul
There's a crime going down... going down... going down
There's a crime going down... going down... going down
There's a crime going down... going down... going down
There's a crime going down... going down... going down
There's a crime going down... going down... going down
I'm to blame for the crime
I miss her so
I'm gonna miss her so
Fight lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
It wasn't that much of a fight
It wasn't anybody's night
It wasn't that much of a fight
That's right
No one heard the bell
There's no story to tell
No one reached into his pocket for the stiletto knife
No bodies fell
It was boring as hell
It wasn't that much of a fight
It wasn't that much of a fight
Nobody went to the light
It wasn't that much of a fight
That's right
No charred timbers smoking
No bottles broken
Nobody running to the glovebox for the stolen gun
No dirty deeds done
It just wasn't that fun
No blood was spilled nobody got killed
No angry words said that could not be taken back
No one at the helm, everyone underwhelmed
It wasn't that much of a fight
Every stone unturned
Every bridge unburned
Every lesson unlearned
No blood was spilled nobody was killed
No one lurking in the shadows with bad intent
No ambulance sent
Not even a dent
It wasn't that much of a fight
It wasn't that much of a fight
Last one, turn out the light
Gil Blanco County lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Bad oats In town
The word went out
So my horse and me
We left town
Rode my Palomino down
Rode on down
Have you ever seen the sun rise
In Gil Blanco County
Ever see the pools they got there
It's where the birds go on the Fourth
The Fourth of July
To Gil Blanco County
It's not far, you know
Got caught in a storm
in Gil Blanco County
It rained so hard said Injun Joe
He knows all there is to know
It should wash
the Face of the Earth
and make us clean again
Bad oats In town
The word went out
So my horse and me
We left town
Rode my Palomino down
To Gil Blanco County
It's not far
It rained so hard
In Gil Blanco County
Gil Blanco County
Gil Blanco County
It's not far, you know
Kick Out The Jams lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
Kick out the jams brothers and sisters.
Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that
I can't get crazy now baby
Cause we all got in tune
In the dressing room
Yeah hazy now baby
Well I know how you like it child
Hot, sweet and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you do it right
When your'e up on the stand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Come on kick'em out
Well I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feeling
And the sound that abounds
And resounds and rebounds
Off the ceiling
Yeah you gotta have it baby
You can't do without
'Cause when you get that feeling
You gotta sound 'em out
Put that mike in my hand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes! Kick out the jams
Com on kick'em out
You know I got to get 'em up
You know I can't
Get enough Miss Mackenzie
Yeah the sounds in my brain
You know it drives me insane
With the frenzy
Well the whailin' guitars
And the crash of the drums
Make me wanna keep-a-rockin'
Till the morning comes
Let me be who I am
And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jaaams
I done kicked 'em out
The Girl That Love Made Blind lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult
"I thought your eyes, blue... Oh no, they’re green" she said to me.
We danced in time or didn’t you know?
This dance was
Time.
At the party of astrologers, the Christmas tide was due.
On the way to Aldebaran: the dance, the dream, and you.
Actuals and counterclaims dancing all the time
Dancing in the corridor and the dance was Time...
"I thought your eyes, blue... Oh no, they’re green," she said to me.
We danced in time... or didn’t you know?
This dance was... Time.
At the height of Christmas tide
She found a ghost inside
Give it up or let it ride
She must decide.
Actuals and counterclaims; drugged, reborn, resigned.
The castle stands, the girl remains, and if she’ll spin, it’s packed with eyes
out there in the corridor, caught there in the mirror maze,
from her last and loving glance a waltz, a dance, whose time,
not here,
but gone
was
Time.
So put me to the question, but there’s no return from this castle of mine
for the powers that be, the girl and her dreams, the girl that love made blind.
And that’s the last dream we had upon that night...
The party of astrologers—the Christmas of my life.
Christmas, Christmas, the Christmas of my life...
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

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...

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

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

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

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

There's an eye in my hurricane
There's something calm watching in the center of me

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

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
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
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

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

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

You'll verify there ain't a heaven

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

You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth

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

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
Live for me
Burn twice as bright

But brother, don't do no one wrong

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

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

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

Astronomy Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms [repeat twice]
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
The origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent
Astronomy...a star [repeat indefinitely]
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms [repeat twice]
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
The origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent

Magna Of Illusion Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Cornwall and the harbor
Where witches went mad more than once and
Until this day
In dreams at least
The lighthouse at Lost Christabel
Squat and hugely tilts
Upon the strand where Grandad's house was built
And having stood the test of time
The starry gale the bloody tide
Grandad's house though gaped with hooks
And filled with books
Could stand no more until
A certain prophecy
Once read - now stood
Before the world fulfilled
Now of these books in Grandad's keep
Some of them were new but mostly they were old
And the oldest was a scroll
A prophecy that read
When the riddle begins
The story will end
August the First 1892
And in the guise of destiny
Grandad quit Cornwall
"I'm a captain of a ship
My ship is charmed, and called Plutonia."
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Grandad sailed for Mexico
Ships charmed and ordinary
Sailed the glidepath to the sun
And when the sun proved false
As it always does
Some of them would be lost
And some would sail back home
It was no star
But a magna of illusion
I mean by that
The mirror found
In the chamber of jade grown like a seed
Deep within the ground
The mirror found
By one man
So on and off again
He sailed the Europe's rim
On and off, off and on
Until his time had come
Through tears and smiles
The last domain
The rods of broken crystal
On and off, and off again
Until his time had come
Late to the story that had been
But early to the riddle not yet begun
August the First 1893
The charmed ship Plutonia
Sailed like a ray into Cornwall
And none too soon it seems
That night the Captain's granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
"I've come a long way,"; said the Captain
"From Lost Christabel this night
Accompanied by my dog familiar
To blast your rafters with my surprise!
Granddaughter, it's a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime!"
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Grandad sailed for Mexico
When tables collapse
And floors have filled
And the party's over, it's all over
Sea-dogs and rockers will dwell on doom
I've warped the stuff of ground
What seems to be is not
Behind closed eyes
Realize your sight
Mine, granddaughter, proves a surprise
More light than sun
More dark than night then
More a snare than lust
Where witches went mad more than once and
Until this day
In dreams at least
The lighthouse at Lost Christabel
Squat and hugely tilts
Upon the strand where Grandad's house was built
And having stood the test of time
The starry gale the bloody tide
Grandad's house though gaped with hooks
And filled with books
Could stand no more until
A certain prophecy
Once read - now stood
Before the world fulfilled
Now of these books in Grandad's keep

Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
I am becalmed in virtue
Lost to nothing on a bay of dreams
Warm weather and a holocaust
The tears of God flow as I bleed
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
On a shore where oyster beds
Seem plush as down
And ripe enough for the luxor dream
Recall the dream of luxor
How fluids will arrive
As if by call or schedule
Resume through the morning tide
Where entry is by seaweed gate
And plan the plan of dreams
To lose oneself in reverb
In all that is and all that seems
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
To see me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
The oyster boys are swimming now
To claim me back from the dead
The creatures back from vertigo
They fear to fall but haven't fell
Will reclaim tries and try again
The oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
Of the lost and language lost
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand, we understand
And so do I
We understand, we understand
But fright is real
And so am I
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
To see me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
The entry to lost vestibule
Opens on the bay
An instant shape of mercury
Lost and then retained
An instant is an eyelash
Caught on the tide
Imaginos!
Below this bay
And then besides...
The oyster boys are swimming now
One deal is what we made
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
Even locks that won't explode
When the skies become a scroll
Having lost its interest
See that's the deal we made
Just to join the Oyster Cult
The Blue Oyster Cult
We Understand, we understand - Blue Oyster Cult
Lost to nothing on a bay of dreams
Warm weather and a holocaust
The tears of God flow as I bleed
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
On a shore where oyster beds
Seem plush as down
And ripe enough for the luxor dream
Recall the dream of luxor
How fluids will arrive
As if by call or schedule
Resume through the morning tide
Where entry is by seaweed gate
And plan the plan of dreams
To lose oneself in reverb
In all that is and all that seems
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
To see me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
The oyster boys are swimming now
To claim me back from the dead
The creatures back from vertigo
They fear to fall but haven't fell
Will reclaim tries and try again
The oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
Of the lost and language lost
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand, we understand
And so do I
We understand, we understand
But fright is real

Imaginos Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Imaginos
Approached the sun
In August in New Hapshire
Singing songs
Nobody knew
And stories left undone
See this fish
His scales turned green
Under such a sun
Such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun
A tongue and pale
Of Texas light
Descended on the border
While the bird
Called Buzzardo
Rattled the bones
He picked the flesh from
See this fish
His scales turned green
Under such a sun
Such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun
Checking the sign of the Moonfleet
Roll your wheel with mine
Sometimes in the light of day
The truth proves hard to find
Actually this Buzzardo
Was Imaginos in disguise
In disguise
Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Ooo Ooo Imaginos

Such a sun...............such a sun

such a sun
I'm Buzzardo in Texas............Last chance
I'm a pinwheel in Vermont........Last chance
And gorge the Bungo Pony.........Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
I'm a rocker a roller and a spinner, too
Below that scene of subterfuge...Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
Which is
The last chance border...........Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
.................................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
On the border....................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
.................................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
On the border....................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance

White Flags Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Hold me close, don't fear my body.
The flesh is weak, in need of touching.
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea, arising, we will be.
Can't you feel my love?
In my arms no fear of falling - we can share my gravity.
See how time will stop forever,
The moment that our eyes do meet.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the moon touches the sun, an eclipse then we'll be gone.
Can't you feel my love?
Capture my senses.
Ravage my perception.
Take me! Take me! Away! Away! Love!
Hold me close, don't fear my body.
The flesh is weak, in need of touching.
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea, arising, we will be.
Can't you feel my love?
Love, can't you feel my love?
Can't you feel my love? Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Can't you? Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
The flesh is weak, in need of touching.
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?

Can't you? Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Dancin' In The Ruins Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday.
Everything we see just fades away.
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be.
Time drops by a second to eternity.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
There's laughter where I used to see your tears.
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears.
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time.
The nights we spent together are no crime.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Like marble statues always flowing lay,
From castles built in silence, let us play.
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh.
We can build a laser, tear the mesh.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Everything we see just fades away.
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be.
Time drops by a second to eternity.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
There's laughter where I used to see your tears.
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears.
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time.
The nights we spent together are no crime.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Like marble statues always flowing lay,
From castles built in silence, let us play.
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh.
We can build a laser, tear the mesh.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Make Rock Not War Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain.
Working together, only to fight again.
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Pulses are racing. You know the blade may fall.
Destinies tracing. I sing to a great star-fall.
And you know there's a real answer, but they've already been told.
We've heard our lies being cold!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low.
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there's a real answer, and we've died more than been told.
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Working together, only to fight again.
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Pulses are racing. You know the blade may fall.
Destinies tracing. I sing to a great star-fall.
And you know there's a real answer, but they've already been told.
We've heard our lies being cold!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low.
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there's a real answer, and we've died more than been told.
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Make rock not war!
Perfect Water Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Perfect water - the dark wind braids the waves that grays birds.
'Ware the tree. Is this our destiny?
To join our hands at sea - and slowly sink, and slowly think:
This is perfect water, passing over me.
Do you know Jacques Cousteau when they said on the radio
That he hears bells in random order, deep beneath the perfect water?
Love! That is frightening, but still so inviting.
To drown inside a sound that lay so far underground.
And to think... And to think:
This is perfect water, passing over me.
To flow inside the spiral tide;
To drown my eyes like a blind ride.
And to cross the perils of black water -
It waits for me like mother and daughter.
A life of perfect order! A strange and perfect water!
A life of perfect order! A strange and perfect water!
Perfect water. I dream this dream within my deep and warm gulf stream.
Where two blocks of ice melt into my hands like dice,
And I roll seven on the floor of the sea!
And I roll seven on the floor of the sea!
And I feel the perfect water, washing over me.
To flow inside the spiral tide;
To drown my eyes like a blind ride.
And to cross the perils of black water -
It waits for me like mother and daughter.
A life of perfect order! A strange and perfect water!
A life of perfect order! A strange and perfect water!
A life! A strange!
A life! A strange!
[Instrumental]

Spy In The House Of The Night Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
I, I have no church or philosophy.
I've never known or told a joke in sin.
I smoke in bed. I smoke instead.
I know the in's and out's of smoke.
And where there's smoke, there's fire, the flip side of desire.
And if it's true, it can't be you, it might as well be me.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I've never been to Spain nor to Germany.
I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky.
I've made love in halls. I fell in love in malls.
I'd love to love you in the dark.
And when it's dark, it's night, the flip side of delight.
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then, it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
[Instrumental]

Beat 'Em Up Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
Come with me! Ready or not!
You got to jump to the music!
Come with me! It's gonna get hot!
You got the rhythms to use it!
Not everybody cooperates, and I'll say if they wanna play rough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Come with me! And reach for the sky!
Get your fists up where I can see 'em!
Come with me! Dead or alive!
Hey! I want to hear everybody screaming!
Some people got a bad attitude, and I'll say if they wanna act tough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
You take a lickin'; keep on kickin';
This fight we both can win!
We'll stop sockin' when you stop rockin'!
You don't give up, you just give in!
Not everybody cooperates, and I'll say if they wanna act tough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! You know you got to beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
You got to jump to the music!
Come with me! It's gonna get hot!
You got the rhythms to use it!
Not everybody cooperates, and I'll say if they wanna play rough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!

Beat 'em up! You know you got to beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
When The War Comes Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult
"When the bones of our oppressors have turned to dust;
And the cause that we serve rules the world.
In a vision, visitation, all hail the revolution!"
A vision of evo-, revolution.
Armies of the past retreat in the wake of revolution.
A journey to the country of the fourth admission,
A spectacle of awakening light.
The soldiers are baffled but still they fight.
Creator; destroyer; victory; defeat;
I did not come to bring a sleep.
Black flag; red flag; space and time;
The future is my mind.
Judgement day descends upon us after the revolution.
The purge has come to set you free;
On the lips, the light called Truth.
A modest time for victory.
Energy imprisoned will make itself free.
[Instrumental]
Creator; destroyer; victory; defeat;
I did not come to bring a sleep.
Black flag; red flag; space and time;
The future is my mind.
When the war comes... When the war comes...
When the war comes... When the war comes...
War comes... When the war comes...
[Instrumental]
