Blue Öyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May - Live Lyrics

Lyrics Then Came the Last Days of May - Live - Blue Öyster Cult



Parched land, no desert sand, sun is just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughin' and smokin' in the back of a rented Ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far
The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day, what luck
They brought everything they needed, bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said the border's just over the bluff
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're okay, the last days of May, but I'll be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
Wouldn't be interested in comin' along, instead of stayin' here
It said the west is nice this time of year, it's what they say
