Blue Öyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper
[Album: Agents of Fortune, 1976]
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man
La la la la la
La la la la la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women every day
Like Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women every day
Redefine happiness
Another forty thousand coming every day
We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man
La la la la la
La la la la la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying "Don't be afraid"
Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said good-bye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper
(Wonderfully dark, isn't it? For a long time I had misheard that second line of each verse as "Here, put down that gun". Must have been too much Weird Al, I guess. B<y the way: My alias on h2g2.com is "Don't Feed The Reaper". Haven't written much yet, though. ;))</i> |
