BLUE OYSTER CULT - Blue Oyster Cult lyrics

rate me

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