Lyrics: The Lone Rhinoceros
Album: Lone Rhino
Artist: 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
