“Workshop of the Telescopes” is Blue Öyster Cult’s penultimate track and, although there are millions of individual interpretations and conspiracies, Joe Bouchard said:
I think those songs are based on his [Sandy Pearlman, producer] experiences on the beach there and growing up.
Workshop of the Telescopes Lyrics
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring an' sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my black telescope
[Verse: Eric Bloom]
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive
A lens of quartz and refract scope
That crystal lens whose crystal rope once
Bound me to those doctors and wives
When my vision was oh, so cloudy
And I saw things through two eyes
[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
I am a sailor on the raging depths
And I know a thing or two
Back to the corner, mates, and over the side
Yes, I know a thing or two
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring an' sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my black telescope
[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
By Silverfish Imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By Salamander Drake and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring an' sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
You'll know me by my... black telescope!

Well, I always enjoyed doing it, but Eric complains about the lyrics, he has to sing those lyrics; I dunno, it’s just so much past history, it’s one of those Sandy Pearlman songs. Just before the BÖC got started, he wrote lot of song...
