Neurotica
Journey Through Neurotica: Urban Wildlife Unveiled
Lyrics
Good morning, it's 3AM in this great roaring city
Introduction to the setting of a bustling city at 3AM.
Full of garbage eaters ravaging parking spots
Reference to people scavenging for food in parking spots.
Beneath my plaza window I see cheetah in their
Observation of people (cheetah) outside the plaza window.
Tight skins and tired heels all-night hippo in the diner
Description of nightlife, tired individuals in a diner.
Crossing the street swarthy heards of young Impala
Imagery of diverse groups (Impala) crossing the street.
Flambastic gibbon even a struggling monza
Reference to various characters, including a struggling Monza.
And over there that brilliant head ornament on that
Noticing a distinctive head ornament on a Japanese macaque.
Japanese macaque but look closely at the hammerhead
Observation of an unusual pair, hammerhead and mandrill.
Hand in hand with the mandrill, it's a sight you're
Highlighting the uniqueness of the sight.
Unlikely to see anywhere else on the planet
Emphasizing the rarity of such scenes on the planet.
The stench and noise, yes, yes
Acknowledgment of unpleasant aspects - stench and noise.
The howler's Resonating repertoire is not too bad when mixed with
Positive note on the howler's repertoire mixed with warbler sounds.
The more musical twern of the tropical warbler
Displeasure with taxi blares, ibis squawks, and paper hawkers.
But the impatient taxi blare, the squawking elderly ibis and
Warning about poisonous laughter and social droppings.
The glass-eye snapper hawking papers I can certainly live without
Observation of peculiar interactions, like a babbler with a magazine stand.
Also be cautious of the poisonous boomslang laughter
Suggesting a positive response from the magazine stand.
Social droppings of the fruit bat and purple queen fish
And who's that babbler conversing with a magazine stand?
Repetition of the neurotica setting, highlighting heat and disease.
Evidently he's getting a good reply
Expressing frustration and discomfort with the surroundings.
Arrive in neurotica
Through neon heat disease
-I swear at the swarming heards
-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
Expression of having no more to say, perhaps overwhelmed.
Say, isn't that an elephant fish on the corner over there
Identification of unusual creatures like an elephant fish.
Look at that blush baby mud puppy noolbenger
Observation of diverse animals, some with amusing names.
Rhinoderma, marmoset, spring peeper, shingleback skink
List of various animals present in the neurotica setting.
Siren, skate, starling, sun-gazer, spoonbill and suckers
Highlighting the diversity and abundance of animal parts.
They seem to be everywhere, well it's a live revue
Noting the prevalence of such scenes in the live revue of neurotica.
Random animal parts now playing nightly right here in neurotica
Advertisement-like mention of random animal parts playing nightly.
So long
Farewell or conclusion.
