“Stairway to the Stars” is Blue Öyster Cult’s fourth song, it’s sandwiched between two popular band’s tracks, “Then Came the Last Days of May” and “Before the Kiss, a Redcap,” so it’s an easy position to get passed over by listeners.

[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it "love to you"
But should I sign it just for you?
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Stairway to the stars!
Think I'll write, "good health to you"
Stairway to the stars!
We got better things to do
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
You can drive my motorcar
It's insured to thirty thou
Kill them all if you wish
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Stairway to the stars!
Think I'll write, "good health to you"
Stairway to the stars!
We got better things to do
[Guitar Solo]
Mow ’em down now!
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it "good health to you"
Upon the cast your broken arm
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Stairway to the stars!
I think I'll write, "good health to you"
Stairway to the stars!
I hope you heal up real quick
[Outro: Eric Bloom]
Stairway to the stars! Stairway to the stars!
Stairway to the stars! Stairway to the stars!
Come on, let's get on outa here
