Neurotica [2016 Stereo Mix] Lyrics - King Crimson

Good morning, it's 3 a.m 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 herds 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 the 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 herds 

I sweat the foul terrain 

I rove the moving scenery 

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

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
