Lips In The Hills Lyrics
I am gripped, by what I cannot tell
Have I slipped or have I merely fell
I've been tricked, my senses telling lies
I've been (stiffened?) by serpent's soundless cries
Up in the hills, an apparition
Filling me with superstition
A fiery night, the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,
(Background voices) Lips in the hills, lips in the hills
(Foreground voice) Lips, Lips, Lips Lips in the hills
I'm so lonely, stabbed by beating claws
I've been tripped, I'm crawling on all fours
I've been stripped the insulation's gone
Wish I slept to waken in the morn
Up in the sky, beyond the chasm
My eyes behold, a rare phantasm
The godless night, the night that I saw (repeat as above)
(First verse repeat)
Up in the hills, an appariton
Filling me with superstition
The godless night, the night that I saw (repeat as above 4 times)
Have I slipped or have I merely fell
I've been tricked, my senses telling lies
I've been (stiffened?) by serpent's soundless cries
Filling me with superstition
A fiery night, the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,
the night that I saw,
(Foreground voice) Lips, Lips, Lips Lips in the hills
I've been tripped, I'm crawling on all fours
I've been stripped the insulation's gone
Wish I slept to waken in the morn
My eyes behold, a rare phantasm
The godless night, the night that I saw (repeat as above)
Filling me with superstition
The godless night, the night that I saw (repeat as above 4 times)

Native Americans tell about skin walkers in the hills. They can shift shape and mimic people’s voices. They would hide and later devour people. They were actually demons. They could confuse and disorient people.
Sounds like Eric Bloom heard the story too. Or yes it may have been about Roswell too. It is the most awesomest of rockers. Really cool guitar 🎸 riffs.
The song "Lips In The Hills" may refer to an incident in July of 1947 known as "The Roswell Incident". Supposedly, a UFO crashed in the hills in or near Roswell, New Mexico, although this was denied/covered-up by the U.S. Air Force (originally saying it was a weather balloon).
Many people in the area at the time supposedly saw/heard strange things going on right before the crash. The USAF recently released a report on the incident, revealing that the "UFO" was part of a secret government program, known as Project Mogul, to spy on the Soviet Union's nuclear weapon development.
High-altitude balloons were equipped with special sensors and radar reflectors to detect atomic testing, but the project was canceled, with the balloons being allowed to fall back to earth. It is likely that flying saucer enthusiasts will remain skeptical of the USAF's report.
While this interpretation may be valid, Eric Bloom once told some BOC fans that the original concept of "Lips In The Hills" was about breast feeding.
I have only recently beome aware of this smoking hot tune! BOC (One Of The Best). Rock On!
It's about some ass-kickin' guitar riffs!
Also sex. Hills can describe pretty much any lady parts. Lips in the hills.
