Shriekback - Beyond Metropolis lyrics

I was afraid of this Round every corner there's a head on a stick This town ain't what it used to be This sentiment is moving me Beyond Metropolis Beggaring belief The Lords and Ladies pick the meat from the bones Ideas above my station try To levitate and learn to fly Beyond Metropolis Moving on, moving on, moving on Coming home, coming home, coming home Can you picture this? Exnovotechnikageopolis All coloured noise and black light kiss Panchromosoniradiopolis Or down a deep and dark abyss Subterranononphotopolis It could feed all fears and phobias Mescalinomedichemicotopia All human life will seethe and hiss Cosmovivageniparahystopolis I swear to you this place exists It's just beyond Metropolis Something has to give Even the underdogs are baying for blood We're in the fear and loathing show And now it's going on the road Beyond Metropolis Better say goodbye Before the heathens break down the gate There's only scorched earth left behind Heaven knows what we will find Beyond Metropolis Moving on, moving on, moving on Coming home. coming home. coming home Can you pray for this? Superphilicredobenedeusangeles From raging flux and atom fizz Metamorphopolyquantumopolis To a city of plans and maps and lists Stylolexicartagraphicopolis In a landscape so superior Terrafluvimonsflorabellatopia The everlasting quest for bliss Intoxivinopharmanarcobibendopolis In the end it all comes down to this Somewhere beyond Metropolis Can you feel it yet? Emperteleosmosynersentiopolis Compa** spin and Geiger clicks Polargyrofluximagnetopolis The power to make the axes shift Hydroleothermadynogasohehopolis The forlorn intelligentsia Cerebrasophocognimelantragiopia The steady on hardworking stiffs Manuferroxylofactopragmatopolis A rose by any name smells of risk It grows beyond Metropolis Exnovotechnikageopolis Chromosoniradiopolis Terranononphotopolis Linomedichemicotopia Vivageniparahystopolis Philicredobenedeusangeles Morphopolyquantumopolis Lexicartographicopolis Fluvimonsflorabellatopia Vinopharmanarcobibendopolis Philicredobenedeusangeles Morphopolyquantumopolis In the end it all comes down to this Somewhere beyond Metropolis
