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 window
 I 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 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
 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 queenfish
 Who's that babbler on the corner
 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 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 long

 Thank you very much

 Here 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 ire
 ♪
 Here 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 fire
