[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus 1]
Neonecropopulace has no reflection
Neocaeczaristic phallic ruins
Just east of the river denial the techs are breathing
Welcome to this neo-Tokyo
[Verse 1]
Gridlocks will warn the chromlech alarms
This bouquet of cuticles landscape tantrums
Tramontane torching the tramontane
I've heard the mumblin' of citadels shifting on the Richter scale
[Verse 2]
The alleys will flow marble intercourse
Roil the pantheon of subterfuge
Tramontane torching the tramontane
This marabout isn't untouchable, indentured by servitude
[Chorus 2]
Neoinfidels, let's plug 'em in
Neopolygraphic, trip chords
Centrocircuiphobia, the fallacy
Welcome to neo-Tokyo
Neo-Tokyo
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Tore the wings off seraphs, fed
Fed 'em to the anglophiles
In this stag caberat, the bark of buildings surged
Through the whipping volt abode
Go to the lexicon, you sluggard, if you will
Oh!
