Veins

Blue Öyster Cult · The Revolution By Night [1983]

I open my eyes

From a dreamless night

With a sense of dread

You could cut with a knife

So I'm thinking that

Maybe I killed somebody

You never know-you never know when

You might have killed somebody



Veins in my eyeballs

Damage that I've done

Veins on the stairway

Veins in my skull



I visit my friend

We have a fight

I'm drinking his whisky

I'm wanting his wife

Then the image goes black

Did I kill somebody?

'Cause there ain't no clue, there's no clue

That I killed somebody



Veins in my eardrum

Banging at my door

Veins in my brainwaves

Veins on the floor



I get the shivers

And I've got the shakes

People screaming my name

Like there's no mistake

I can't believe it's true

Did I kill somebody?

But I just don't know, I don't know

Did I kill somebody?



Veins on the sidewalk

Veins know the score

Veins in my mind, oh

Veins ever more
