Hawkwind - Steppenwolf

You can see my eyes are lupine The liquid golden fires glare My loping walk, my sliking spine Are signs that there is something there The way my nostrils flare for odours The way my ears pick up for sound My hairs electrically aware Tells me things for miles around I am a wolf man, I am a wolf man I have half a canine mind I have half the mind of man I am neither of one kind Maybe it was only hallucination I'm a stranger to such things I have made a thorough investigation The image and the power that clings To my imagination My brian has found the bells it rings Like a wolf my wilful loafing Languishing alone in my lair Where you will never hear my laughing I'm half in love with dark and despair Moons are howling, mouth of mercury Quicksilver quivering in the sky It echoes like a cave of chromium To vacuum up my soul when I die I am a wolf man, I am a wolf man I am neither of one kind Dissolving in the splendour of this desolation The forest has been felled by fog Exactly a description of my isolation I made a note of it in my log To the secret of all creation I follow my own trail like a dog I am a wolf man walks alone in the gas lamp Shadows of the streets at night I am a wolf man upright on two feet in the City dressed somberly as a man I am a wolf man under the skies heavy with snow My eyes are convex lenses of ebony embedded In amber The fat bourgeois and his dopple ganger Are buried in my solid glare Twin specimens of insect all set for display I am a wolf man, the wolf in me would eat the man I am a wolf man, the man in me would kill the wolf I am a wolf man, who despises the striving of all Common men Watches them at work, at their daily task In factories and office desk Watches them at evening elbow lift at tavern table, Heads lolling in song Isch weis nischt weis ischa (Zargonzoi) I saw a neon sign reflected in a pool of liquid sky Which was not what I expected I was only walking by The sign read "to the magic theatre" It is not for everyone It is but for madmen only the first performance has begun I looked up to see that notice where the lights were Shining from And nothing but blank wall was there And their reflection too was gone Maybe it was only an hallucination I'm no stranger to such things I've made a thorough investigation The image and the power that clings To my imagination My brain has found the bell it rings
