    King Crimson always did weird shit outside of expectations or genres, but this is one of their weirdest:

    It's here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor
    Like tire irons, toothy grills and car parts before me
    The acid rain floods my floorboard
    Burns my pores and rots my upholstery
    Once I was worshipped, polished magnificently
    Now I lay in decay by the dirty angry bay
    
    I'm ready to leave
    I wanna be out of here
    I'm ready to ride away
    I don't wanna die in here
    I'm ready to ride
    
    My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue
    My body unhinged and sleeping in the jungle
    Of motor block manifolds and metal relics
    What was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty
    But this dead end demolishes the dreams
    Of an open highway
