Black Hyena Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An eyelid starting to twitch
We chased it over the cliff
The alligator is as dead as your remote control
But I will need it for this
[Refrain]
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
[Verse 2]
Caught in the twist of delight
Between this world and the light
The bones snap into place, you saw the face, you saw the face
I made the gravity mine
[Refrain]
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
[Chorus]
At last
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator
[Verse 3]
I pray to start it tonight
A moron carcass arrives
On a banana peel, he slips and breaks his brain in two
The master cracks into life
[Pre-Chorus]
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
Black hyena gonna bite the idiot
[Chorus]
At last
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
At last
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator
At last
Hello, Re-Animator
Hello, Re-Animator

What's the significance of the hyena?
According to Jonathan Higgs, it was inspired by a song with the word “cocaina” in it.
