“Subhuman” was planned to be called “Blue Öyster Cult,” but Sandy Pearlman disliked the idea at the time. Years later, on Imaginos, this song was re-recorded and renamed “Blue Öyster Cult.”
It talks about the alien ‘Imaginos’ being left to die on the shore and the Blue Öyster Cult coming to save hi...
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
I am becalmed
Lost to nothing
Warm weather and
Holocaust
[Refrain 1: Eric Bloom]
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as I bleed
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea!
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me now
Save me from the
Death-like creatures
[Refrain 2: Eric Bloom]
Oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is real and so do I
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me
Just one deal is what
We made now
[Refrain 3: Eric Bloom]
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
And even locks, that won't explode
When the skies become a scroll
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
So ladies, fish, and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea!
