Blue Öyster Cult played with skill and precision, but with a wink, as they understood the absurdity of the genre.

Flaming Telepaths Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
[Chorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's in ire
And the joke's on you
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
[Chorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies
Yes, I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts, a mineral fire
Yes, I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath

[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
[Chorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's in ire
And the joke's on you
[Outro: Eric Bloom]
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's...

What did Blue Öyster Cult say about "Flaming Telepaths"?
In an interview with Bloom, he said:
“Flaming Telepaths” was written, I believe, in either Eatons Neck or Dix Hills, en masse, in a collaborative fashion with all the band members in a room. I can’t remember who came up with the germ of the idea, but when it came to creating the melody, I said, “I...
