Veins

Blue Oyster Cult · The Revolution By Night

I open my eyes
From a dreamless night
With a sense of dread
You could cut with a knife
So IÂ’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 IÂ’ve done
Veins on the stairway
Veins in my skull

I visit my friend
We have a fight
IÂ’m drinking his whisky
IÂ’m wanting his wife
Then the image goes black
Did I kill somebody?
Â’Cause there ainÂ’t no clue, thereÂ’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 IÂ’ve got the shakes
People screaming my name
Like thereÂ’s no mistake
I canÂ’t believe itÂ’s true
Did I kill somebody?
But I just donÂ’t know, I donÂ’t know
Did I kill somebody?

Veins on the sidewalk
Veins know the score
Veins in my mind, oh
Veins ever more
