Neurotica lyrics

Artist  : King Crimson 
Song : Neurotica
 
Good morning
it's 3am in this great roaring
city full of garbage eaters ravaging parking
spots beneath my plaza window I see cheetah in
their
tight skins and tired heels all-night hippo in
the diner crossing the street swarthy heards of
young
impala flambastic gibbon even a struggling monza
and over there that brilliant head ornament on
that
Japanese macaque but look closely at the
hammerhead hand
in hand with the mandrill
it's a sight you're
unlikely to see anywhere else on the planet...

the stench and noise
yes
yes
the howler's
resonating repertoire is not too bad when mixed
with
the more musical twern of the tropical warbler
but the
impatient taxi blare the squawking elderly ibis
and
the glass-eye snapper hawking papers I can
certainly
live without also be cautious of the poisonous
boomslang laughter social droppings of the fruit
bat
and purple queen fish and who's that babbler
conversing
with a magazine stand? evidently he's getting a
good
reply...

arrive in neurotica
through neon heat disease
I swear at the swarming heards
I sweat the foul terrain
I rove the moving scenery
I have no fin
no wing no stinger
no claw no camouflage
I have no more to say...

Say...isn't that an elephant fish on the corner
over
there look at that blush baby mud puppy
noolbenger
rhinoderma marmoset spring peeper shingleback
skink
siren skate starling sun-gazer spoonbill and
suckers

they seem to be everywhere

well it's a live revue random animal parts
now playing nightly right here in neurotica...
so long...
