[Verse 1: Albert Bouchard]
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

[Bridge: Donald Roeser]
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

[Chorus: Donald Roeser & Albert Bouchard]
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
[Verse 2: Albert Bouchard]
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

[Bridge: Donald Roeser]
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

[Chorus: Donald Roeser & Albert Bouchard]
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea

[Verse 3: Albert Bouchard]
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…
[Bridge: Donald Roeser]
The oyster boys are swimming now
One deal is what we made
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green trees 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 Öyster Cult
The Blue Öyster Cult

[Outro: Donald Roeser]
We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult
We understand, we understand, we understand
