Written by E. Bloom, D. Roeser and J. Shirley Performed by Blue Oyster Cult Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked Forgive me if I smile badly It's only that I've run off the track Derailed by the irony Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked Forgive me if I smile badly It's only that I've run off the track Derailed by the irony Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming They warn of Armageddon, they warn us of apocalypse The future's as a fool's invention Of choking skies and computer chips (There's a nightmare) civilization (There's a monster) industry Four horsemen have already arrived I see them above us, already here Four horsemen with hooves like knives I say again, already here (There's a nightmare) civilization (There's a monster) industry (There's a devil) human corruption (There's a vampire) human greed Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming (There's a nightmare) civilization (There's a monster) industry (There's a devil) human corruption (There's a vampire) human greed (There's a nightmare) civilization (There's a monster) industry (There's a devil) human corruption (There's a vampire) human greed
