King Crimson - Neurotica Lyrics
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
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
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...

King Crimson Neurotica Comments
New line up played this song in their shows in Buenos Aires. But, it's not the same....Belew's voice is missing.
primus anyone?
HS!Bill Bruford is the scariest drum monster ever! Thank you for this upload.
Monstruos. King Crimson the real king.
I bought this album right when it came out. This track totally pinned my ears back. AWESOME.
Sounds like one of those announcers who talk over horse races. In Space tho.
"though" you idiot
Some might think this is just noise but I don't care. I think it represents perfectly a city with a lot of traffic and cars going fast.
it's FAR from just noise
Thank God! (and Fripp, add accolades) - I can now complete my "Streets" Playlist and share this brilliant piece of art with the uninitiated!
