LyricMeaning

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


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

Compass 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
