This Sheik Yerbouti track details a tiny city with tiny people in it. It is notable for its claymation music video featured in the film Baby Snakes and on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
The actual recording comes from a performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, January 27, 1978, documented in its entirety...
[Adrian Belew]
City of tiny lites
Don't you wanna go
Hear the tiny auto horns
When they tiny blow
Tiny lightnin'
In the storm
Tiny blankets
Keep you warm
Tiny pillows
Tiny sheets
Talkin' bout them tiny cookies
That the peoples eat
City of tiny lites
Maybe you should know
That it's over there
In the tiny dirt somewhere
[Frank Zappa]
You can see it any time
When you get the squints
From your downers and your wine
You're so big
It's so tiny
Every cloud is silver line-y
The great escape for all of you
[Frank Zappa & Adrian Belew]
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do
[Guitar Solo]

City of tiny lites
Don't you wanna go
Hear the tiny auto horns
When they tiny blow
Tiny lightnin'
In the storm
Tiny blankets
Keep you warm
Tiny pillows
Tiny tiny sheets
Talkin' bout them tiny cookies
That the peoples eat
That the peoples eat
That the peoples eats
That the peoples eat
And it's over there
It's over there
It's over there
It's over there
