Neptune Rising from SIMULACRA by Simi Lacroix

This heat just won’t let up
Peppemint Julep
Can’t take the heat on the street
One count of vulture, no meat

Who’s the man with the stone cold glare?
He like the Blockhead like the Steely Dan
He moved to Melbourne but he missed his old fans
Back in 4000 tryna be his own man

Sweat pourin outta my pores
Like a human rainforest
I’m a brown snake writhin’
Got that Neptune risin’

He go to London but it ain’t no thing
You know that Paris ain’t so cosmopolitan
New York is busy and it smells like a stain
Give him that city on a hazy floodplain, yeah

The suburbs is up
The city is down
The valley goes round and around and around and around and around

Who’s the man with the stone cold glare? (Who goes there?)
He like the Blockhead like the Steely Dan (Ooh yeah)
He moved to Melbourne but he missed his old fans (No I didn’t)
Back in 4000 tryna be his own man (Here I am)
