Lips In The Hills Lyrics – Blue Oyster Cult

I am gripped, by what I cannot tell
Have I slipped or have I merely fell
I've been tricked, my senses telling lies
I've been (stiffened?) by serpent's soundless cries

Up in the hills, an apparition
Filling me with superstition
A fiery night, the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,

[Background voices] Lips in the hills, lips in the hills
[Foreground voice] Lips, Lips, Lips Lips in the hills

I'm so lonely, stabbed by beating claws
I've been tripped, I'm crawling on all fours
I've been stripped the insulation's gone
Wish I slept to waken in the morn

Up in the sky, beyond the chasm
My eyes behold, a rare phantasm
The godless night, the night that I saw [repeat as above]

[First verse repeat]

Up in the hills, an appariton
Filling me with superstition
The godless night, the night that I saw [repeat as above 4 times]
