Blue Oyster Cult Workshop Of The Telescopes Lyrics

Workshop Of The Telescopes Lyrics

By silverfish imperetrix, 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 and sky

By those who see with
their eyes close

They know me by my black telescope



Your
green tree mantle from which these things derive

A lens of quartz and
refract spoke 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

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



By silverfish imperetrix,
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 and sky

By those who see with their eyes closed

you'll know me by my black telescope



Before my great conversion
when the ridge was closed

Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes



By silverfish imperetrix, 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 and sky

By those who see with
their eyes closed

you'll know me by my black telescope
