Lyrics OD On Life Itself - Live 1979 - Blue Öyster Cult

How could I fool you, I rest and assure you
I'll take it off from here and put you on the line
Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle
The landscape's open and the world is mine, it's still mine
O-D'd on life, O-D'd life itself
O-D'd on life, O-D'd life itself
O-D'd on life itself
The writings appear on the wall
The curtains part and landscape fall
There, the writing's done, in blood
Like a mummy's inscription and a bat-wing tongue
And then the mouth of the cave will open up wide
Wide as the world that's mine, it's mine, all mine
So don't you fear the trade in life
Life loves force but force loves life
This wedding by heaven was made up in hell
With the victim as bride and life, life itself
O-D'd on life, O-D'd life itself
O-D'd on life, O-D'd life itself
O-D'd on life, O-D'd life itself
O-D'd on life, life itself
O-D'd on life, life itself
O-D'd on life, life itself
O-D'd on life, life itself
