Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I’m without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart
Dropped acid,
Blue Oyster Cult concert,
Fourteen years old.
I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me…
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly,
And the spiders from Mars. He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy’s band
Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine,
A good friend of mine, follows the stars,
Venus and Mars are alright tonight
If there’s a Rock Show at the Concertgebow
You’ve got long hair at Madison Square
There’s rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl,
We’ll all be there,
Ooh wee…
We rock at dawn on the front line,
Like a bolt right out of the blue.
The sky’s a-light with the guitar bite,
Heads will roll and rock tonight.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We’ve got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin’ in the free world
Keep on rockin’ in the free world
Almost every day you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me to rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.
Counting flowers on the wall
that don’t bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'til dawn
with a deck of fifty-one
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
And solitare’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
I’m sitting here,
Playing solitaire,
With my pearl-handled deck.
The county won’t gimme no more methadone,
And they cut off your welfare check.
Regards,
Carmelita
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Will the circle be unbroken.
By and by, Lord, by and by.
There’s a better home a’waitin’,
In the sky Lord in the sky…
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
We live in a house upon the hill
It’s just a mile away
We look out to sea
Dawn’s early light
It chased the night away
Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m you or me
Alone in this room with the moon and the sea
Listen to the space where she used to be
Another life away
I’ve got the moon in me
swayed by the endless sea
blind now we swim to the shore
she’s got an airplane
I’m on the wings again
fly into the sun
Mama always told me not to look into the eye of the sun
But mama, that’s where the fun is
Well she got her daddy’s car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she’ll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
