Beyond Metropolis - Shriekback

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
