69 Eyes, The - Black Orchid Lyrics






You're blooming
In the night
Bodies moving
In the red light
I've been watching
Watching you score
Making the men
Beggin' you for more

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

Skyscraping
Skyline
Moneymakers
Killing time
I've been watching
Watching Singapore
Making arrangements
Croaking nevermore

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free
You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

People are
What people are
What people are
(People are
What people are
What people are
What people are)

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free
You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

  25. R.... V....

    This band keeps its essence

  26. M.... C....

    Is this song on Spotify?

  27. T.... M....

    Same old, same old, 3 chords...

    T.... M....

    @Compendyum Oh Jesus.. Yes he was definitely right and liking your own comment doesn't make it more valid.

    T.... M....

    @Elon Musk He was right about what, idiot? Care to explain? Do you not like your own comments?

    T.... M....

    @Compendyum Oh my Goodness..
    I personally like this song. Tony does not because in his opinion the band uses the same material over and over again. I don't know that, I just know this song and I like it. If he's right then it is a bit lame of them. So he said this music is for simple people (like you) who will like their music over and over again even though it's basically the same all the time. Then you're argument was even though he dislikes it, he still came to watch the video. This argument is pure bullshit. How the fuck would he have known if he likes the song before even watching the video?! To come up with solutions, you have to criticise things. How should you criticise anything without even watching it? So I just said that you're argument is just bullshit and it sums up the simple people Tony was speaking of. And you seem to be one of those simple minded people who would celebrate music over and over again even though it is the same.
    And that you are liking your own comments proves my point even more. No I fucking don't, it is not my task to support my opinion. If I didn't like my opinion, then I would just shut the fuck up. If I say something, then it is my opinion and the opinion that I like most because of arguments that went through my head. I don't have to like my own shit to underline my own thoughts. It is other people's task to like my comments or write another comment with props to me if they agree with me and it is other people's task to criticize me whenever they think that I'm talking bullshit like you just did.

    T.... M....

    @Elon Musk You need help, asap.

    T.... M....

    @Compendyum No you're the one who fucked up Sherlock :)

  28. G.... N....

    HUGE BAND!!!!

  44. K.... ....

    Love the old school sound

  45. C.... A....

    These lyrics are embarrassing.

    C.... A....

    Moody Owl who’s acting like it’s not a common thing? The majority of bands that exist or have ever existed are not very good.
    I love goth rock/ death rock/punk and industrial. I love many other styles of music as well but I def have a special thing for this stuff. I’ve been into it since around 86. My first show was the Cramps who although are kitschy and camp/horro I wouldn’t call em’ goth. At any rate, the words are very simple BUT extremely clever and always surprising.
    I saw my first proper vampire stalk the stage when I saw the Damned at the IBeam in SF. I think it was 88?89?
    The lyrics from every era of the band are SO amazing. From the garage punk of 77 to the dancy goth of the mid 80’s and the Psychedelic stuff scattered throughout, the words are just tops.
    I like a handful of other bands. Bauhaus, Danzig and bunch of smaller groups I’ve played with over the years. There’s also a few I’ll keep close to my vest. The point is, I don’t like bands just because they play goth or death rock.
    Christian Death is great. Type O Negative and 69 Eyes are embarrassing. “69 dude!!”
    I tend to like a band far less if they do a style I am into but are cheesy and blow it.
    Ok...gonna go listen to screaming lord such.
    His lordship awaits!

    C.... A....

    Chad Allen wow...didn't know this was such a touchy subject. Its just music. Meant to be enjoyed. If you don't enjoy it then move on. Did I mention that I don't care what your preferences in music are? Second time you felt it was essential to point out just hooow muuuuch you love music. Cool. Me too. Obviously different bands though.

    C.... A....

    Chad Allen also, while we are at it. Saw the damned few years back and never got what the hype was. So as you can see...not everyone likes the same thing

    C.... A....

    Moody Owl pretty much just you and I on this thread. I’m the OP. I’m not sure “I don’t care”means what you think it means.
    I almost spit my drink out when I read your skoff at the Damned. You not getting “the hype” was to much! There hasn’t been a hype for that band since the 70’s and that’s when I was born.
    I used to use that negation trick on the playground.
    I’d pop off to some kid, “Baseball? I just don’t get the hype, I’m into comics.” and wait for his face to turn red.
    Your fun. Try another!

    C.... A....

    Chad Allen pay attention. I said I don't care what you listen to. Never asked about it. I just pointed out that a lot of people on scene loves cheesy stuff and the 69 eyes delives. Pipe down. Besides, I've said I don't get the hype to point out my different taste. It is cute that you were into trends as a kid though

  46. N.... S....

    YOU MADE MY FUCKING DAY THANK YOU 69 EYES

  47. D.... M....

    definitely it jumps at my n.1 . Love the video. <3

  48. T.... T....

    Awesooome!!🖤🖤

  49. P.... ....

    The 69 Eyes completely have gone to pop.

    P.... ....

    This is still a good song. Granted it's nothing like their best moment "Blessed Be" (2000) but I did it like...

    P.... ....

    Pfff what? have u heard any of their 90's or 2000's stuff? They haven't changed much since Blessed be. I know because i listen to them everyday and have all their albums. U clearly dont know what your saying. Maybe turn on shit radio and you'll here some pop. Hell, In Flames is on there regularly. Blessed Be, Paris Kills and Back In Blood are my favorites.

    P.... ....

    @Deadliest Assassin I mean sound and not what's on the radio or not. I don't listen to any radio.

    P.... ....

    @Phat read again
