- 7 Screaming Diz-Busters
They held their heads with laughs of pain
They learned from men who'd just refrain
From glancing at a mirror's face
Seven screaming diz-busters
Who lurked behind the rose
Cast iron for a bloodstream
And ice behind their eyes
- After Dark
What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see.
What's that noise I'm hearing?
Who's that calling me?
Long ago and far away I heard your voice
Once I heard you sing your song I had no choice
- Astronomy
Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reasons tend to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
- 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
- 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!
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Career Of Evil
I plot your rubric scarab,
I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my
Baby tonight, baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You're mine for the taking
- Celestial The Queen
I'm out of my place I'm out of my mind
I'm 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
- 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
- Cold Gray Light Of Dawn
That endless light
Casts only one shadow
The cold grey light
By the penthouse on the ghetto
- Dancin' In The Ruins
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!
- Deadline
You said you'd be here at a quarter to five
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
How long you think that I can sharpen my knife
I've got better things to do with my life
It's almost the deadline
Don't miss the deadline, darling
When all your bad dreams will come true
- Death Valley Nights
Bleached by the sun
And scorched by the moon
If I make it 'til tomorrow noon I'm leaving
'tween the horror of space
And the terror of time
My heart in crystal down the line I'm screaming
- Debbie Denise
She kept the light open, all night long
For me to come home, and sing her my song
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me
She'd wait by the window, so patiently
And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down
She'd pin it up, and softly smile
- Divine Wind
Blood of bat, tail of newt
Wing of metal, bone of steel
Vial of health, flask of pain
Staff of life or poison rain
If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell
- Dominance And Submission
Oh yeah
I spent ten years, half my life
Just getting ready, then it was time
Warpage in my figures, radios appear
Midnight was the barrier, back in 1963
Each night the covers were unfolded
- Dont Fear 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...
- Dr Music
Dance on fire with me babe
The flames ain't gonna stop
Come on and show me
That you're ready to trot
So if you really wanna do it
You better do it hot
- Dragon Lady
Out of the smoke of the dawn of man
Out of the ocean across the sand
Reaching forth with an ancient hand
Dragon lady
Out of the flames of a man's desire
A hair raising voice from an evil choir
Raining down like a freezing fire
- Eyes On Fire
At the stroke of midnight staring at the phone
For the millionth time I'm all alone
I'm the guy she turns to when her lovers leave
I'm the wild card she's got up her sleeve
But she don't look at me
With eyes on fire glowing like coals in the night
Hungry eyes burning with love and desire
- Fallen Angel
From the dust I rose on high
Thunder cloud in a two-lane sky
From the world I did rebel
A fallen angel
Highway lust was in my blood
No girl could ever take my love
Cold and cruel and then I fell
- Feel the thunder
Slicing through the night Three riders
Perched on American steel Riders with no name
Time cannot reveal riders with no names
On October 31'st many years ago
Three friends went out for a ride
For it was a famous party night
- Fire Of Unknown Origin
Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway, in it's Sunday best
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Swept to ruin off my wavelength, swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire, so thick and gray
- Fireworks
She went down to her house by the water
To hide herself from his grasp
He went down to the water to find her
To consumate their love at last
Then the lightning flashing (flashing crashing)
Fireworks shooting up in her head (in her head)
- Flaming Telepaths
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
- Godzilla
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed 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 center of town
- Goin' Through The Motions
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
All you've got to do it is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
- hammer back
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'
- Harvest Moon
This place has a history
The Spaniards settled here
They burned the town and fields
And moved away from here
My grandma often told me
She knew it peaceful here
The war took all the vigor
- Here Comes That Feeling
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
- Hot Rails To Hell
Riding the underground
Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop don't you know?
The heat's on alright
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night
1277 express to heaven
- I Am the One You Warned Me Of
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
- I Love The Night
That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on
I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "like me I see you’re walking alone
- Imaginos
Imaginos
Approached the sun
In august in new hapshire
Singing songs
Nobody knew
And stories left undone
See this fish
- In the Presence of Another World
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
- Joan Crawford
Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
- Let Go
Hell-bent for leather on a moonlit night
There's a hot wind blowin'
Better hold on tight to your soul
Blue fire rising up from the deep
Burning the world when it's tryin' to sleep
So let go
- Lips In The Hills
I am gripped by what I cannot tell
Have I slipped or have I merely fell
I feel gypped my senses telling lies
I've been stiffed by serpent's soundless cries
Up in the hills
An apparition
Filling me
- Lonely Teardrops
Lonely teardrops, you been crying
I hear them fall
In the night the empty night
I hear your song
It goes right through me
It used to move me
(Lonely, lonely)
- Madness To The Method
A rock through a window never comes with a kiss.
Rhyme and a reason never argue with a fist.
There's a time for discussion and a time for a fight.
It's the time in the season for a maniac at night.
There's a lot to be said for a blow to the head.
So come on! make a show! turn it on! let it go!
Put some madness to the method! [we need! we need! we need! we need!]
- Make Rock Not War
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,
- Mirrors
A mirror is a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
It reveals what the rest of us see
It conceals what you'd like it to be
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
- Monsters
Keep going getting higher
New worlds waiting in the sky
To escape the feasting and the hunger
Not the monsters in our minds
We got our hands on this ship
And stowed away into the night
- O D 'd On Life Itself
How could I fool you I rest and assure you
Take it off from here and put you on the line, yeah
Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle
Landscape's open and the world is mine, it's still mine
Od'd on life, life itself
Od'd on life, life itself
Od'd on life itself
- Perfect Water
Perfect water - the dark wind braids the waves.
The crazed birds raid the trees. 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.
- Power Underneath Despair
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?
- Real World
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
- See You In Black
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
- Shadow Warrior
I have no home. I live within my mind.
I have no one. no one I'm bringing up to the sky with me.
No weapon - I carry no sword, only my hands to protect me.
No laws - I obey no laws; my spirit is righteous and free.
Her face, the image of a thousand wonders.
A bridge between today and yesterday.
If I pull her close what will the spirit say?
- She's As Beautiful As A Foot
She's as beautiful as a foot
She's as beautiful as a foot
She heard somebody say, the other day
Didn't believe it when he bit into her face
Didn't believe it when he bit into her face
It tasted just like a fallen arch
- Shooting Shark
Well I bumped inside the magic man
And he laid some tricks on me
He said, you do need help my friend
I whispered, obviously
He laid a spread of jacks and queens
And he bade me take my pick
But every face it had your face
I cried out, I am sick
- Sinful Love
You're over my shoulder, I think I'm possessed
Your constant undertone, is making me toothless
Times come to trim you out of my life
Gonna cut you out, baby, out of my life
Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil
I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon
- Sole Survivor
There walked a lonely man
Silent, mute, the only man
Not knowing how not knowing why
Was he the sole survivor
Why should he be alive
Breathing still while others died
And the only question
Why was he the sole survivor?
- Stairway To The Stars
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it love to you
But should I sign it just for you
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do
You can drive my motorcar
It's insured to thirty thou
Kill them all if you wish
- Stephen King Spoken Intro
"Imaginos (performed by Blue Oyster Cult) -
A bedtime story for the children of the damned.
From a dream world, paralleling our earth in time and space, the invisible ones have sent an agent who will dream the dream of history.
With limitless power he becomes the greatest actor of the 19th century.
Taking on many ingenious disguises, he places himself at pivotal junctures in history, continually altering its course and testing our ability to respond to the challenge of evil.
His name is 'Imaginos'"
- Stone Of Love
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
- Subhuman
I am becalmed
Lost to nothing
Warm weather and
Holocaust
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
- Take Me Away
Strange shapes light up the night
Never seen them though I hope I might
Don't ask if they are real
The men in black, their lips are sealed
Fantasy it fills my mind
To leave this place before my time
Release myself from earthly care
- Tattoo Vampire
I went down last night with a tattoo madam
To a nude dagger fantasy domain
Wrapped in hell, I lost my breath
Chest to stimulating chinese breast
Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
- The Great Sun Jester
They have killed the great sun jester
Who danced between the stars
They have stripped him of his manhood
Signs of venus and of mars
The cynics left him weeping
And the jackals left him torn
And the jester reaches out bind hands
He can touch the stars no more.
- 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
- The Red And The Black
Canadian mounted, baby
Police force at work
Red and black
It's their color scheme
Get their man
In the end
It's all right............it's all right
It's all right............it's all right
- The Revenge Of Vera Gemini
You're boned like a saint
With the consciousness of a snake
You're the kind of girl
I'd like to find
Face like an angel
But you're boned like the devil
- Then Came The Last Days Of May
Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Of a rented ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket
- True Confessions
True, true confessions, I lied
True, true confessions, I lied
Spent all night with candy's eyes
Dragged myself cross the warm blind side
Spent all night with candy's eyes
Dragged myself cross the warm blind side
- Veteran of the Psychic Wars
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
Ive been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And Im young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
Im not sure if theres anything left of me
- White Flags
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?
