Cover art for X-Ray Eyes lyrics by Blue Öyster Cult

This song is true. I am a person who can detect lies and dishonesty without even trying. It is a very painful thing when someone you trust or think highly of lies to you. I have had rocky relationships because of this. For example, my girlfriend is home and i get home form work, i ask her, "What all did you do today ?" she tells me she visited her mother and took her son to see his father." I instantly know she's left something out. So I ask her, "Anything else ?" and she knowing me and what I can do gets mad and tells me she stopped and got a pack of cigarettes too. So, she's mad at me for asking about her day. I know she was faithful to me, and cigarettes are a silly thing to end a relationship over. But the real tragedy is that she'd been absued and wronged by so many men that she was incapable of fully trusting a man completely. She wasn't prepared for a man who could accept her wholly, and I couldn't live with a woman who'd lie over something like cigarettes. We both agreed that friendship was best, and to stop being a couple. After that our relationship became better than before, LOL. She actually told me the whole truth after we broke up.

However, this song is just another page in the book of the awesome resources that Blue Oyster Cult has pulled from to create their amazing music.
