before the kiss, a redcap
Singer:blue oyster cult
so grab your rose and ring side seat
we're back home at conry's bar
the blond girl with her tattoo
four and forty redheads meet
come to doom 'til the dawn
with threats of gas and rose motif
their lips apart like a swollen rose
before the kiss. doors like flint and window panes
the owner's boys have gone to work
to stop big deals behind the bar
while outside on the turnpike
they got this new hit tune
where thrills become as cheap as gas
and gas as cheap as thrills
one thrill and mundane here at last
expect the cross one more
whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
still ripe and fully bloomed
a rose that's not from anywhere
that you would know or i would care
and the owners boys act most cheerfully
when their patrons' thoughts at last
grow too big for their skulls
and awful things are happening
we've let this drama fold
and now the time has come at last
to crush the motif of the rose. so grab your rose and ring side seat
we're back home at conry's bar
the blond girl with her tattoo
