Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics - Imaginos - 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 

Seem plush as down 

And ripe enough for the Luxor dream 

Recall the dream of Luxor 

How fluids will arrive 

As if by call or schedule 

Resume through the morning tide 

Where entry is by seaweed gate 

And plan the plan of dreams 

To lose oneself in rebirth 

In all that is and all that seems 

So ladies, fish, and gentlemen 

Here's my angled dream 

To see me in the blue sky bag 

And meet me by the sea 

The oyster boys are swimming now 

To claim me back from the dead 

The creatures back from vertigo 

They fear to fall but haven't fell 

Will reclaim tries and try again 

The oyster boys are swimming now 

Hear them chatter on the tide 

Of the lost and language lost 

Hear them chatter on the tide 

We understand, we understand 

We understand and so do I 

We understand, we understand 

But fright is real and so am I 

So ladies, fish, and gentlemen 

Here's my angled dream 

To see me in the blue sky bag 

And meet me by the sea 

The entry to lost vestibule opens on the bay 

An instant shape of mercury 

Lost and then retained 

An instant is an eyelash 

Caught on the tide 

Imaginos 

Below this bay and then besides 

The oyster boys are swimming now 

One deal is what we made 

Forest keys and whirlwind cold 

Green keys too and keys of gold 

Even locks that won't explode 

When the skies become a scroll 

Having lost its interest 

See that's the deal we made 

Just to join the Oyster Cult 

The Blue Oyster Cult 

We understand, we understand 

Blue Oyster Cult
