Blue Oyster Cult - Fire Of Unknown Origin Lyrics






Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway
In its Sunday best

A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away

Swept her up and off my wavelength
Swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire
So thick and grey

A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away

Death comes driving
I can't do nothing
Death goes
There must be something
There must be something
That remains
There must be something…
There must be something…

A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby
Took my baby away

  7. B.... T....

    Now I see where Ghost got some of their sound from

  8. r.... e....

    The Agents of Fortune version is leagues better than this one.

  9. A.... C....

    Such an underrated band

  10. N.... B....

    Que linha de baixo fantástica!
    Os teclados também estão sensacionais!
    Isso que é música!

  11. R.... G....

    Kinda awkward when you’re just a casual BÖC fan and suddenly the comments section is filled with Supernatural- now I know how older people feel seeing Jojo comments on 80s and 90s songs I guess lol

  12. T.... ....

    What the fuck is Supernatural?

  13. s.... ....

    Asome tune!!!

  14. A.... C....

    One of their best songs

  15. d.... r....

    this, by far, is the best album from the mighty Blue Oyster Cult

  16. T.... V....

    Supernatural 😎

  17. D.... M....

    one of the all time great coverart lps 13 mystical members of the cult of the blue oyster

  18. C.... A....

    Am I the only one here not because of supernatural and only because this is a great song

  19. C.... ....

    no idea where the fire came from but it's probably safe to blame the clown.

  20. N.... ....

    @ John Winchester

  21. S.... ?....

    Perfect anime intro

  22. R.... S....

    quando Supernatural era bom

  23. Y.... ....

    My Friend just told me it soundes like Niagara - L'Amour à la Plage
    I'm fuckin dying rn

  24. L.... D....

    New album coming out in 2020 ;)

  25. E.... C....

    Thank you supernatural for this amazing song

  26. j.... P....

    Used to jam out to this 8 track in the seventies yeah that's right I'm that fucking old

  27. I.... L....

    Supernatural

  28. D.... S....

    Another "bill payer"!

  29. C.... B....

    Blue Oyster Cult is one of the best art rock bands ever. Totally mislabeled as a heavy metal act, and written off by some as a one trick pony for Dont Fear The Reaper, which is not even close to their best song. If a new audience is discovering them, with fresh ears, maybe BOC can get a much deserved and worth while second round of success. This band was so misunderstood in the 70's and 80's, Only the true fans actually get it, and BOC fans are weird anyways, me included.

  30. d.... r....

    This song is a perfect example of why Blue oyster cult is my fav band. Like not just that its fucking dank music, the lyrics are really smth else.

  31. K.... ....

    Supernatural introduced me to this group, thanks Sam and Dean!

  32. C.... T....

    I swear to God they move

  33. G.... A....

    Irony. I found this song the day before the Notre Dame fire.

    G.... A....

    Please explain how that is irony

    G.... A....

    Chunst Bogner at the time I wrote this, they didn’t know anything about the fire.

    G.... A....

    @Gustavus Adolphus Oh, so you thought that maybe Blue Oyster Cult set the fire.

    G.... A....

    Chunst Bogner my God, you can’t read the name of the title, can you? It’s “Fire of Unknown Origin”. As in UNKNOWN.

    G.... A....

    @Gustavus Adolphus When you say unknown, it still makes me think that you havent ruled out Blue Oyster Cult as the arsonists. Do you really think that MAYBE they caused it?

  34. C.... O....

    Noone is talking about how hard this shit slaps?

  35. R.... T....

    Nobody:

    Old music fans: ugh all thees pleebs only listening bcz it was in som tv sheeow.

    Jesus let people listen to their music

  36. A.... A....

    A fire of unknown origin took my pp away :(

  37. L.... ....

    I like the show, but I didn't get here threw that I got here threw a rabbit hole of Rock and Roll Music.

  38. J.... m....

    Supernatural 🤣🤣🤣

  39. Z.... @....

    ☘☘☘🎶🎶🎶🤫🙀🐼🐗🐰🐻🐷🦊🐭🐹🐶🐵

  40. T.... S....

    Haven't heard this for years...I forgot how good this song is!

  41. F.... V....

    Didnt know this version exsisted

  42. c.... b....

    Never seen supernatural 🤷🏻‍♂️ I just like BOC

  43. A.... H....

  46. w.... c....

    Can everyone shut the fuck up it doesn't matter where they came from we all like it. Be happy young people like them it means BOC will live on like they deserve to. I first heard them 6 years ago when I was 7 with my dad. Some people have loved them for years. Some people found them from a show. Cab we just love the music

  47. D.... S....

    Faggy, low protein, gen z kids be talking bout: supernatural
    I'm here because I actually have a mullet and drive a z28, fuck you posers ruining music

    D.... S....

    Darth Soros Egotistical show-off. 🙄

    D.... S....

    Ok boomer👍🏼...

  48. M.... R....

    Is this one of the best band i tried

  49. B.... ....

    My favourite Band for more than 30 years now.

  50. J.... G....

    It's actualy quite ironic that Dean sang this song to Sam while knowing that Sam's girlfriend burned in a fire of (at that time) unknown origin. Hahahaha

  51. M.... S....

    Sypernatyral 1 sezon 17 seria

  52. V.... P....

    I Love is B.O.C. 😎👊

  53. I.... L....

    I remember when my dad put this lp on and I was just fascinated, I needed to be able to sing like this! Just need some injections of this and then I might be able to XD

  54. G.... G....

    rock pra caramba..

  55. T.... Y....

    #DEANWINCHESTER

  56. S.... ....

    funny how "stoner/psych" bands today are still trying to reach this sound...not hating on any scene just saying BOC was ahead of the pack before i was born and now lol...this shit is timeless

  57. p.... n....

    This is classic rock at it's finest!

  58. A.... �....

    I already knew BÖC before i watched Supernatural, and when i went in the comments i was like "they're exaggerating, it doesn't matter if teenagers are coming" but seeing all these "Dean <3" or "I love Sammy !"...
    Now i understand you, why did they had to add BÖC in Supernatural.... :'(

  59. J.... T....

    Is every comment gonna be about supernatural

  60. D.... W....

    "Not a lot of scenery here in East Texas. Kind of gotta make your own" - DW, likes to put spoons in Sam's mouth.

  61. G.... K....

    We also have the blue oyster religion that became a band. In fact, the band is called (a blue oyster) heresy for even bigger plaque.

  62. �.... ....

    I'm here because I have great taste in music, not because some kinda crappy tv-show

  63. d.... l....

    must have been flaming telepaths

  64. R.... ....

    * Dean turns up music *
    Dean: FIRE OF AN UNKNOWN ORIGIN
    * Sam wakes up with a start and spits out spoon *
    Dean: TOOK MY BABY AWAY
    * Dean imitates drumming *
    BEST SCENE EVER

    R.... ....

    I don't know about the best scene ever but it was definitely top ten.

  65. M.... M....

    supernatural used to have a great soundtrack

  66. M.... U....

    https://youtu.be/F6_W1xxjpxY

  67. K.... M....

    I didn't even know people discovered it with Supernatural (which isn't a shame, it just strengthens the BÖC family), I thought this band was still a bit esoteric. I started listening to them not so long ago (~2 years ago) cause my dad was like "Here, son, listen to that, that's good.". And damn was he right

  68. A.... V....

    I'm pissed off by all these people hating the ones that came for Supernatural. Come on man, aren't you glad young people are listening to this? Like how's that a problem for you?

    A.... V....

    It doesn't matter how people find BOC ... just find this great band anyway you can ....

  69. S.... D....

    Best rock album in the history of rock. Period.

  70. W.... K....

    “A fire of unknown origin took my baby away” that reminds me of fallout 4

  71. X.... W....

    B.O.C evil is killer don't you hear from you anyway

  72. f.... ....

    This song rocks

  73. P.... C....

    Damn nice

  74. S.... !....

    I like this version better

  75. C.... D....

    Yet another great one from my favorite band of all time. BOC rules forever!!!

  76. M.... _....

    His must be John Winchester’s theme song OK NO

  77. E.... B....

    I like when he says T H I Q Q Q Q

  78. S.... B....

    SUPERNATURAL!

  79. I.... F....

    So the KKK learned how to kidnap babies from the fire of an unknown origin? Damn fire and racist groups kidnapping the babies of rockers!

  80. T.... M....

    I'm disliking everyone who has something to say about supernatural or Dean Winchester

  81. S.... P....

    just now i realize that the bass line is actually riders on the storm :p

  82. Z.... ....

    Who is from Supernatural here?😂 Nice music

  83. D.... C....

    Supernatural that's hilarious it's my wife's favorite show I call it the Sam and dean variety hour I do love that 67 impala 👍👍

  84. G.... F....

    do any of you like blue oyster cult because there a good band?

    G.... F....

    I have loved them since I first heard them 40 years ago!!

    G.... F....

    Same ... exactly 40 years ago as well ... no one like BOC ...

  85. L.... E....

    BOC is pure gold

  86. m.... ....

    Hell House

  87. S.... d....

    Am I the only one here because I had a good childhood education on music...

  88. M.... A....

    A fire of unknown origin took my baby away... This just perfectly fits with Supernatural

  89. J.... B....

    Esse som é atemporal.

  90. S.... ....

    I discovered blue oyster cult long ago thanks to the Simpsons...

  91. s.... ....

    Here's to my old buddy Jon Wollmann from Honolulu who put this in the tape player back in 82 😎

  92. �.... P....

    is there anyone here that found this song by themselves and not by a tv show? im just very curious because of all these "supernatural" comments seem to have taken up the whole comment section. It is a really good song tho.

    �.... P....

    PhANt0m A55aUlt7 I found this album after listening to Burnin For You (that I discovered after listening to Dont Fear The Reaper (that a friend from class told me to listen))

    �.... P....

    PhANt0m A55aUlt7
    You don’t just find these things “by yourself”. That’s just silly ego stroking BS. You found this song through another source.

  93. f.... w....

    i found this from wanting more blue oyster cult idkwtf is up with everyone else and this supernatural shit

  94. p.... ....

    BOC IS SUPERNATURAL. You could make a movie from any of their albums.

  95. P.... ....

    I totally forgot the BOC did a pop/bubblegum version of this...its not all that bad...silly sounding for a Jim Morrison tribute though

  96. O.... ....

    people who listen to music are trash
    a real human being listens to stones thrown in washing machines

    O.... ....

    Nice one

    O.... ....

    filthy frank much?

    O.... ....

    you make no sense, my son.

  97. M.... Z....

    Shit, I guess I've gotta watch Supernatural if this is its soundtrack

  98. p.... s....

    fuck supernatural

    p.... s....

    hyepbbe no. Fuck you. No wait...I totally agree with you. Cas and Dean should Fuck. It's about freaking time though.

  99. S.... W....

    Hmmh ... Blue Oyster Cult are sublime ... I have known this for 39 years but it just really hit me square on listening to this song tonight ...
