Richard would write on a typewriter and we’d have sheets of lyrics and on the page and it would look just look like poetry with a lot of lower case and free form, free association. Dharma wrote his parts of the song in his garage studio.
Meltzer wrote numerous songs for the band, with many in conjunction with Roeser. "Burnin' for You" was written by Blue Öyster Cult lead guitarist Buck Dharma and rock critic Richard Meltzer. It was aided by a popular early MTV music video. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and the single spent three weeks in the Top 40 (peaking at No. Roeser sang lead vocals on the song (as he also did on the band's biggest chart hit, 1976's " (Don't Fear) The Reaper") in lieu of Blue Öyster Cult's usual lead vocalist Eric Bloom.

It was released as the lead single from the band's eighth studio album, Fire of Unknown Origin, released in June 1981, where it was the album's second track. The normal life, that love of that regular "girl next door" who could never bear the continuous journeying of this hellbound Path, the abandonment of something more beautiful and genuine than anything that will ever be discovered on the Great Adventure ensuing from this Faustian agreement that in the end will leave the author burning for eternity." Burnin' for You" is a song by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult.
That special, sweet regular girl who makes a house a home is never going to wait around for THAT, and often not even for a tame and mature touring musician. The stories we have heard of with Led Zeppelin and The Who were the stories of very young men who were otherwise BORED and entertaining themselves. It's not really fun or glamorous, especially once reaching your 30s, which Buck would have been by the time he wrote this. Anyone who has traveled for their career knows what this feels like, but turn it up many notches of intensity with the trappings of being a touring rock star. A big trade off "living for giving the devil his due" and the home he will never have, which includes the regular things everyone needs. Soldier what you describe would be the unspoken trade-off of the pact this song is about and the "between the lines" sub-narrative. I mean Dont fear the reaper was written about Stephen King's The Stand- and that is proven. and these guys seem to like to write songs about books.

Kerouac even wrote a fictional song that appears in the book at a couple points. Its about two guys during the late fifties who spent a lot of time bumming around the country getting into a lot of different shit, doing drugs, and lookin for love. I cant find any acknowledgment of this but The song was obviously written about the book "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
