Letra de Neurotica/The Howler (Live in Philadelphia)
"Neurotica"Good morning It's 3 a.m. in this great roaring city full of garbage eaters Ravaging parking spots beneath my plaza windowI see cheetahs in their tight skins and tired heels All-night hippo in the diner Crossing the street swarthy young herds of Impala Flambastic gibbon even a struggling MonzaAnd 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 planetThe 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 The impatient taxi blare the squawking elderly ibis and The glass-eyed hawkers hawking papers I can certainly live without Also, be cautious of the poisonous laughter of boomslang Social droppings of the fruit bat and purple queenfishWho's that babbler on the corner Conversing with a magazine stand? Evidently, he's getting a good replyArrive in Neurotica Through neon heat disease I swear at the swarming heards I sweat the foul terrain I rove the moving sceneryArrive in Neurotica Through neon heat disease I swear at the swarming heards I sweat the foul terrain I rove the moving sceneryI 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 mud puppy bush baby noolbenger Rhinoderma spring peeper marmoset shingle back skink Siren skate spoon fish sun-gazer and suckers They seem to be everywhere, well it's a live revue Random animal parts now playing nightly right here in Neurotica So longThank you very muchHere is the angel of the world's desire Placed on trial To hide in shrouded alley silhouettes With cigarette coiled To strike at passing voices Dark and suspect Here is the howling ireHere is the sacred face of rendezvous In subway sour Whose grand delusions prey like intellect In lunatic minds Intent and focused on the long thin matches To light the howling fireNo, no, no, no, not me Burn, I don't want to burn No, no, no, no, not me Burn, I don't want to burn No, no, no, no, not me Burn, burn, burn, burnNo, no, no, no, not me Burn, I don't want to burn No, no, no, no, not me Burn, I don't want to burn No, no, no, no, not me Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn No, no
