blue oyster cult - after dark

What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see.
What's that voice I'm hearing?
Who's that calling me?

Long ago and far away I heard a voice.
One I heard you sing your song I had no choice.
Terror took control and told me what to say.
Letting loose of fear I finally found the way.

After dark -- I see you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I need you

Of age there is no question,
Death's shadow is undone.
We only need each other
And shelter from the sun.

(Chorus)

After dark -- I need you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I see you

There's no turning back now,
My fate is traced in blood.
I've tasted true salvation:
Your power is my drug

(Chorus)

After dark -- I need you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I see you
After dark -- I touch you
After dark -- I . . .

After dark, after dark, After dark . . .

blue oyster cult - godzilla

With a purpose full of grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitty/spitting/splitting (?) high tension wiresdown.

Helpless people on subway trains
Scream to God as he looks in on them.

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the centre of town.

CHORUS (×2):
Oh no, they say he's got to go:
Go, go, Godzilla!
(yeahh)
Oh no, there goes Tokyo:
Go, go, Godzilla!
(yeahh)

Godzilla-zilla-zilla-zilla...
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

[Chorus]

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men.
Godzilla!
(×4)

blue oyster cult - burnin for you

Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home will never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due

And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you

Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play B-sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I've seen suns that were freezin' and lives that were through

Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due

And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you

blue oyster cult - the reaper

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

blue oyster cult - astronomy

Clock strikes twelve and moon drops 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
And now the sand's become a crust
Most of you have gone away, you have gone away

Oh, come Susie, dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where 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 to let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Uh, hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms

Yes, the light that never, never warms
Oh, the light that never
Never warms
Never warms
Never warms

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar

It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me...

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Call me Desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight

And don't forget my doll
Fixe the consequence

Astronomy... a star...
Astronomy... a star...

Astronomy... a star...
Astronomy... a star...

blue oyster cult - baby ice dog

I had this bitch you see, she made lies to me
Her deceit, oh, it gave me a chill
But I found out now, that baby that baby ice dog

She said, we would wed in Mongolian country
Lilies shoot free, but she was snowing me
In the mountains, oh, her intent was all too clear

It was quite a sin, how the ice caved in
I was numb, I could not assist
Baby ice went down through cold cold cold ground
I said baby, that's the breaks

Leading me around like broke down hound dog
Crossing me once too often
Now she's bound for a lower station
She crossed me once too often
And now the ladies all fear this Mongolian man
With ice down his face you know I could get them involved
In unnatural acts with the aid of my cold cold stare

They'd like to make it with my big black dog
But they just don't know how to ask
You know they'd like to try anything that comes into your mind
Oh freeze on freeze on freeze on bone to bone

blue oyster cult - beat em up

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!

blue oyster cult - before the kiss a redcap

So grab your rose and ring side seat,
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo,
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh my suzy, my suzy,
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

And underneath, the black light,
Underneath it all
Four and forty redheads meet,
Come to doom 'til the dawn

With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a swollen rose
Their tongues extend, and then retract
A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.

Doors like flint and window panes
An endless shadow bar
The owner's boys have gone to work
To stop big deals behind the bar

While outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Where thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills

One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping cat

Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
Still ripe and fully bloomed
A rose that's not from anywhere
That you would know or I would care

And the owners boys act most cheerfully
Back home at Conry's bar
When their patrons' thoughts at last
Grow too big for their skulls

And awful things are happening
We've let this drama fold
And now the time has come at last
To crush the motif of the rose.

So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh my suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

blue oyster cult - black blade

I have this feeling, that my luck is none too good.
This sword here at my side, don't act the way it should.
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave.
Hauling me faster and faster to an early early grave.
And it howls! It howls like hell!

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law.
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore.
I just wanna be your lover, not a red eyed screaming ghoul.
I wish it picked another,to be it's killing tool.

(Chorus)
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
Killing saw it's power...can grow
Grow! (Echoed over)

(Bridge)

It's death from the beginning to the end of time.
And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign.
And the old words stand and they burn this man.
And the black sword keeps on killing til the end of time.

(Chorus)
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
Bring your kids to the world we know
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
And it's easing me to kill my friends
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black....Blade, Black....Blade
Forcing my men to bend and bend

blue oyster cult - 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

blue oyster cult - cagey cretins

Ooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there dummy? What you got there man?
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there honey? What is it a worm?

Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door
Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more

Ooooh cagey, what you got?
Got an awful tummy, Oh no it's inflamed
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
It's so lonely honey, in the state of Maine

Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door
Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more

I'm graduating in one more term
Because I haven't any time to burn
Repeating taste of hi-heeled shoe
An eel is waiting under the train
Being chased around by the neighbor's cat
Well it's so lonely in the state of Maine

Dumb bells are ringing, ringing in my ear
Mother's wombs are crying, ringing in my fear
Mother's never run, except when rape is near

Ooooh cagey (repeat three times)

blue oyster cult - career of evil

plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)

Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)

I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep
I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat seven times)

blue oyster cult - celestial the queen

I'm out of my place I'm out of my mind
Totally bent in the big time
There's no place for one of my kind
Scorn behind shades I don't care anyway

Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen

Her world turns around
In my ear the sound of laughter
Swift descent
Dark and mute dreams deceive

The world turns around me
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen

She came from the dark she came from a dream
All leather and chains the rising queen
Born into the night born into the spotlight
She spread her wings and then she was gone

Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen

The world turns around
In my head the fury laughter
Swift ascent
And then forever it meant nothing

The world turns around me
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen

blue oyster cult - cities on flame with rock and roll

My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
Reins of steel, and it's alright
Cities on flame, with rock and roll
Marshal will buoy, but Fender control
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll

blue oyster cult - cold gray light of dawn

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
