Blue Oyster Cult - Cultosaurus Erectus (1980) Produced by Martin Birch ------------------------ BLACK BLADE ( - E. Bloom - M. Moorcock - J. Trivers - ) 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 want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool Black Blade, Black Blade Forged a billion years ago Black Blade, Black Blade Killing so its power can grow 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 whole world's dying and the burden's mine And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time Black Blade, Black Blade Bringing chaos to the world we know Black Blade, Black Blade And it's using me to kill my friends Black Blade, Black Blade Getting stronger so the world will end Black Blade, Black Blade Forcing my mind to bend and bend I am the Black Blade Forged a million billion years ago My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity Carving out destiny Bringing in the Lords of Chaos Bringing up the Beasts of Hades Sucking out the souls of heroes Laying waste to knights and ladies My master is my slave Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You poor fucking humans MONSTERS ( - A. Bouchard - K. Bouchard - ) Keep goin' getting higher New worlds waiting in the sky Escape the feasting and the hunger Not the monsters in our minds Got our hands on a ship And stole away into the night The four of us and Pasha dear She to steer and we to fight Fed up with rules and regulations No more laughter left on Earth Outer Space our one salvation May God help us in our search We fled so fast that we grew younger Put the ship on cruise control We all did our best with Pasha But not as good as good ol' Joe Monsters, monsters, monsters.....In the night Monsters, monsters, monsters.....In black and white Monsters, monsters, monsters.....Out of control Monsters, monsters, monsters.....When you're alone Monsters, monsters, monsters.....Feed on themselves Monsters, monsters, monsters.....On the road to hell Love never should have entered It was never in the plan We were finally going to have her And let Joe be damned! Joe awoke from a stupor It was clear something was wrong He rushed in and found us with her And in his rage he aimed his gun One shot and it was over Pasha smiled and then was gone... DIVINE WIND ( - D. Roeser - ) 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 Fast food, fast cars Fast women, movie stars Time of trouble, time of trial Turn to Memphis, pray awhile If he really thinks we're the devil Then let's send him to hell Anxious mothers, bums in the street Jackals in waistcoats, men in sheets Purple mountains, waves of grain Grace of God, thy will be done If he really thinks we're the devil Then let's send him to hell DEADLINE ( - D. Roeser - ) 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 Don't miss the deadline It's almost the deadline, darling I wouldn't want it to happen to you Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone I wonder if he ever felt more alone He never finished his coffee that night The photo they showed David was a terrible sight He missed the deadline He passed the deadline, darling And I believe that somehow he knew He crossed the deadline He passed the deadline, darling There wasn't a thing anybody could do Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire You find a way to balance faith and desire It's almost the deadline Don't miss the deadline darling Consequences are easily misconstrued Don't miss the deadline It's almost the deadline, darling I couldn't live if it happened to you THE MARSHALL PLAN ( - Blue Oyster Cult - ) In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west Where Friday takes so long to arrive Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio The he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror Starts his day with a rock and roll pose Tonight's the night that Susie and he Are going to a rock and roll show Tonight!

Bouchard - K. Bouchard - ) Sometimes it feels like you can't get enough My buddies and me keep looking for the stuff To make us feel the blood rushing through our veins Just to keep on living is bound to be a strain We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys! Friday night we take off heading for the city To dance with the lady from the white snow country And if she takes us home and we get a little love That's something can't get enough of We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! We're hungry boys! Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!

That's why we're hungry boys! That's why we're hungry boys! That's why we're hungry boys! Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys! FALLEN ANGEL ( - J. Bouchard - H. Robbins - ) >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 A fallen angel A girl so strange I lost my head Lost it all got left for dead I curse the day now I'm just a shell A fallen angel Gonna rise up from hell I'm the fallen angel When the brink of ruin lies Upon the world angels shall rise To lead the fallen now remember world A fallen angel Gonna rise up from hell Gonna rise up from hell Gonna rise up from hell I'm the fallen angel LIPS IN THE HILLS ( - D. Roeser - E. Bloom - R. Meltzer - ) 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 With superstition A fiery night the night that I saw, The night that I saw The night that I saw Lips Lips Lips in the hills in the hills Lips Lips Lips in the hills In the hills I'm so flipped snared by hidden claws I've been t-tripped I'm crawling on all fours I've been stripped the insulation's gone Wish I'd slept to waking in the morn Up in the sky Beyond the chasm My eyes behold A rare phantasm The Godless night, the night that I saw The night that I saw The night that I saw Lips Lips Lips in the hills in the hills Lips Lips Lips in the hills 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 appariton Filling me With superstition The Godless night The night that I saw The night that I saw The night that I saw Lips Lips Lips in the hills in the hills Lips Lips Lips in the hills In the hills UNKNOWN TONGUE ( - A. Bouchard - D. Roter - ) There was no light shining through the window As Margaret lie in bed She was wearing cotton pajamas A crucifix above her head She awoke from a dream Her eyes were open Her lips were moving In the dark Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tongue Reveal to me the unknown tongue She put her hands upon her breasts And they were small and hard and young And everywhere she touched she felt a fire Waiting for the answer that must surely come Is this the way to love? Or is this just the way to die? Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tongue Reveal to me the unknown tongue Then she took her father's razor And watched it cut into her palm She put her hand up to her mouth To taste the blood so holy and warm She got up in the morning Put on her dress, and patent leather shoes Ate her cereal and kissed her mother Caught the bus and went to school Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tongue Reveal to me the unknown tongue
