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 reverb

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 it's 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
