BLUE OYSTER CULT - Before The Kiss lyrics

rate me

So grab your rose and ring side seat,<br>We're back home at conry's bar<br>The blond girl with her tattoo,<br>Reds and wine, cokes of course<br><br>Oh my suzy, my suzy,<br>Why did we ever start<br>It's morning now, you'd never know<br>The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark<br><br>And underneath, the black light,<br>Underneath it all<br>Four and forty redheads meet,<br>Come to doom 'til the dawn<br><br>With threats of gas and rose motif<br>Their lips apart like a swollen rose<br>Their tongues extend, and then retract<br>A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.<br><br>Doors like flint and window panes<br>An endless shadow bar<br>The owner's boys have gone to work<br>To stop big deals behind the bar<br><br>While outside on the turnpike<br>They got this new hit tune<br>Where thrills become as cheap as gas<br>And gas as cheap as thrills<br><br>One thrill and mundane here at last<br>Expect the cross one more<br>Lecherous invisible<br>Beware the limping cat<br><br>Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws<br>Still ripe and fully bloomed<br>A rose that's not from anywhere<br>That you would know or I would care<br><br>And the owners boys act most cheerfully<br>Back home at conry's bar<br>When their patrons' thoughts at last<br>Grow too big for their skulls<br><br>And awful things are happening<br>We've let this drama fold<br>And now the time has come at last<br>To crush the motif of the rose.<br><br>So grab your rose and ring side seat<br>We're back home at conry's bar<br>The blond girl with her tattoo<br>Reds and wine, cokes of course<br><br>Oh my suzy, my suzy<br>Why did we ever start<br>It's morning now, you'd never know<br>The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark
