BLUE OYSTER (Written by Johannes Schneeberg / J. S. Frankenstein) Blue Oyster Big as a star Down at the bottom Blue from afar I’m breathing through pipes Swimming in snakes and snipes Growing wings in the water I’m a mermaid like my daughter The sun doesn’t reach the ground Its light turns blue at night Out of sight, out of fright Fell in love with you at first sight Blue Oyster Blue Oyster The day has begun Down where the old ships sleep A thousand fathoms deep Their bells still ring below For sailors lost long ago I hear their voices call Through an underwater hall No ceiling and no floor Just one enormous door Blue Oyster Open your shell Show me the heaven You hide inside hell Blue Oyster Blue Oyster What have you done? The night disappeared And the day has begun [Psychedelic guitar solo] I found a pearl in the dark Cold as the moon, bright as a spark I held it close against my heart And watched the ocean fall apart The fishes became birds The silence became words The bottom became sky And I forgot that I could die Blue Oyster Big as a star I know what you are I know what you are [Spoken, low baritone] There are things beneath us that have never seen the sun. Perhaps they do not need it. Perhaps they are the sun. [Hammond organ / twin-guitar instrumental] Growing wings in the water Mermaid and daughter Father and sea What will become of me? Blue Oyster Blue Oyster Open your eyes Blue Oyster Blue Oyster The water is the sky Out of sight Out of fright Out of darkness Into light [Psychedelic guitar solo — long, soaring] Blue Oyster Big as a star Down at the bottom Blue from afar Blue Oyster Blue Oyster The night is done The pearl is shining The tide is turning And the day… has begun. ⚜️⚜️⚜️ © 2026 Johannes Schneeberg
