“ETI”
[EXTRA TERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE]
/Blue Oyster Cult\
I hear the music, daylight disc
Three men in black said, “Don’t report this”
“Ascension,” and that’s all they said
Sickness now, the hour’s dread
All praise!
He’s found the awful truth, Balthazar!
He’s found the saucer news
I’m in fairy rings and tower beds
“Don’t report this,” three men said
Books by the blameless and by the dead
King in yellow, queen in red
All praise!
He’s found the awful truth, Balthazar!
He’s found the saucer news
Dead leaves always give up motion
I no longer feel the motion
Where prophecy fails, the falling notion
“Don’t report this, agents of fortune”
All praise!
He’s found the awful truth, Balthazar!
He’s found the saucer news

[You *knew* it was coming]....:)
This year is B.O.C.’s 35th anniversary.
My God, I’m old.
“Take Me Away”
[BÖC]
Strange shapes light up the night.
Never see ‘em though I hope I might.
Don’t ask if they are real.
The men in black, their lips are sealed.
Fantasy fills my mind
To leave this place before my time,
Release myself from earthly care.
My dream may be your nightmare.
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I’d like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say,
“Come on, take me away!
Come on, take me away!”
Come here girl close to me
A thousand stars your eye can see
First one we see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might.

Looks like by 1981 they’d turned into glam rockers, which they weren’t when I saw them live in concert.
And if I’m not mistaken they were playing at a small “retro” venue here in Northern VA a few months back, at least they were on the marquis.
