Lyrics for Song: Joan Crawford
Lyrics for Album: The Music Of Blue Oyster Cult [2010]
Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy,
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street,
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls,
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat.
No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara,
They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks,
The sky is filled with herds of shimmering angels,
The fat lady lives! Gentlemen, start your trucks!
No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen...

Joan Crawford
Blue Öyster Cult's 1973 track "Joan Crawford" stands as a defining example of their early punk-infused rock sound. Released on the album *Tyranny And Mutation*, the song features the band's signature blend of distorted guitars, driving basslines, and the distinctive vocals of Richard Perry. The title references the legendary actress, a common trope in rock culture, though the song itself focuses on the band's signature themes of rebellion and societal critique. As a staple of the new wave and punk movements, the recording captures the raw energy of the early 1970s underground scene, cementing Blue Öyster Cult's reputation as pioneers of the genre. Its enduring appeal lies in its aggressive rhythm and the band's ability to fuse psychedelic elements with hard rock aggression. |
