The Lone Rhinoceros Songtext
von Adrian Belew

I′m a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world

I stand alone in my concrete cell
Where people stare and toss me coke cans
I guess it′s better than being poached
But I'd give my horn just to see my homeland

I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain′t one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world


They say I am ugly,
Call me a beast
I hear them snicker
When I′m half asleep
Is beauty such a big commodity
I always heard it was only so deep

I'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain′t one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world

I know the zoos protect my species
They give me food, collect my feces
But I can't help it, I miss the past
I′ll never again see my good old mudbath
