[00:28.97]You can see my eyes are lupine
[00:32.30]The liquid golden fires glare
[00:35.90]My loping walk, my slinking spine
[00:39.91]Are signs that there is something there
[00:43.92]The way my nostrils flare for odour
[00:47.92]The way my ears prick up for sound
[00:51.61]My hair's electrically aware
[00:55.30]Tells me things for miles around
[00:59.66]I am a man-wolf, I am a wolf man
[01:03.37]I have half a canine mind
[01:06.95]I have half the mind of a man
[01:11.32]I am neither of one kind
[01:14.98]Maybe it was only an hallucination
[01:18.61]I'm no stranger to such things
[01:22.33]I made a thorough investigation
[01:26.05]The image had a power that clings
[01:30.35]To my jaded imagination
[01:34.31]My brain has found the bells it rings
[01:58.75]Like a wolf my wilful loafing
[02:02.39]My languishing alone in my lair
[02:06.04]Where you will never hear me laughing
[02:09.76]I'm half in love with dark and despair
[02:13.75]The Moon's a howling, mouth of mercury
[02:17.79]Quicksilver quivering in the sky
[02:21.43]It echoes like a cave of chromium
[02:25.07]That'll vacuum up my soul when I die
[02:29.18]I am a wolf man, I am a man-wolf
[02:32.86]A freak, a fiend, a figment of mind
[02:36.46]A species of the steppes and city
[02:40.10]I am neither of one kind
[02:44.08]Dissolving in the splendour of this desolation
[02:47.44]The forest has been filled by a fog
[02:51.40]Exactly a description of my isolation
[02:54.87]I made a note of it in my log
[02:59.15]To the secret of all creation
[03:02.82]I follow my own trail like a dog
[04:44.80]I am a wolf man,
[04:47.55]Who walks alone in the gas lamp shadows
[04:51.11]Of the streets at night
[04:55.27]I am a man-wolf upright on two feet in the city,
[05:02.81]Dressed sombrely as a man,
[05:06.66]I am a wolf man
[05:14.19]Under skies heavy with snow,
[05:17.89]My eyes are convex lenses of ebony,
[05:21.88]Embedded in amber,
[05:25.51]I am a man-wolf
[05:29.53]The fat bourgeois and his doppelganger,
[05:32.51]Are buried in their solid glare
[05:36.22]Twin specimens of insect, set for display
[05:44.48]I am a wolf-man,
[05:47.81]The man in me would kill the wolf
[05:51.76]I am a man-wolf,
[05:55.46]The wolf in me would eat the man
[05:59.16]I am a wolf man,
[06:02.76]Who despises the strivings of common men
[06:09.68]I am a man-wolf
[06:13.32]Who sees them at work,
[06:17.43]At their daily tasks at factories and office desk
[06:21.33]Who watches them at evening,
[06:28.79]Elbows lift at tavern tables, heads lolling in song
[06:35.73]Und ich weiß nicht was ich sagen soll
[07:16.41]I saw a neon sign reflected
[07:20.02]In a pool of liquid sky
[07:23.43]It was not what I expected,
[07:27.08]I was only walking by
[07:30.78]The sign said "To the Magic Theatre"
[07:34.46]It is not for everyone
[07:38.09]It is but for madmen only,
[07:41.74]The first performance has begun
[07:45.87]I looked up to see that notice
[07:49.46]Where the lights were shining from
[07:53.15]Nothing but blank wall was there
[07:56.44]And their reflection too was gone
[08:00.85]Maybe it was only an hallucination
[08:04.55]I'm no stranger to such things
[08:07.80]I made a thorough investigation
[08:11.17]The image had a power that clings
[08:15.47]To my jaded imagination
[08:18.72]My brain has found the bell it rings
[08:22.89]🎵
