Steppenwolf Lyrics - Coded Languages: Live At Hammersmith Odeon November 1982 - Hawkwind

You can see my eyes are lupine 

The liquid golden fires glare 

My loping walk, my slinking spine 

Are signs that there is something there 

The way my nostrils flare for odour 

The way my ears prick up for sound 

My hair's electrically aware 

Tells me things for miles around 

I am a man-wolf, I am a wolf man 

I have half a canine mind 

I have half the mind of a man 

I am neither of one kind 

Maybe it was only an hallucination 

I'm no stranger to such things 

I made a thorough investigation 

The image had a power that clings 

To my jaded imagination 

My brain has found the bells it rings

Like a wolf my wilful loafing 

My languishing alone in my lair 

Where you will never hear me laughing 

I'm half in love with dark and despair 

The Moon's a howling, mouth of mercury 

Quicksilver quivering in the sky 

It echoes like a cave of chromium 

That'll vacuum up my soul when I die 

I am a wolf man, I am a man-wolf 

A freak, a fiend, a figment of mind 

A species of the steppes and city 

I am neither of one kind 

Dissolving in the splendour of this desolation 

The forest has been filled by a fog 

Exactly a description of my isolation 

I made a note of it in my log 

To the secret of all creation 

I follow my own trail like a dog 

Photos 

I am a wolf man, 

Who walks alone in the gas lamp shadows 

of the streets at night 

I am a man-wolf upright on two feet in the city, 

dressed sombrely as a man, 

I am a wolf man 

Under skies heavy with snow, 

my eyes are convex lenses of ebony, 

embedded in amber, 

I am a man-wolf 

The fat bourgeois and his doppelganger, 

are buried in their solid glare 

Twin specimens of insect, set for display 

I am a wolf-man, 

The man in me would kill the wolf 

I am a man-wolf, 

The wolf in me would eat the man 

I am a wolf man, 

Who despises the strivings of common men 

I am a man-wolf 

Who sees them at work, 

at their daily tasks at factories and office desk 

Who watches them at evening, 

elbows lift at tavern tables, heads lolling in song 

Und ich weiß nicht was ich sagen soll 

I saw a neon sign reflected 

in a pool of liquid sky 

It was not what I expected, 

I was only walking by 

The sign said "To the Magic Theatre" 

It is not for everyone 

It is but for madmen only, 

the first performance has begun 

I looked up to see that notice 

where the lights were shining from 

Nothing but blank wall was there 

and their reflection too was gone 

Maybe it was only an hallucination 

I'm no stranger to such things 

I made a thorough investigation 

The image had a power that clings 

To my jaded imagination 

My brain has found the bell it rings
