lyrics

Although this song was released as an instrumental, it was performed with vocals. A live performance with lyrics is available an upcoming digital release by The Fibonaccis.

“Stay Home” (lyrics by Ron Stringer)

Tower of Pisa, Mona Lisa
Monte Carlo, they take VISA!
Sip a rare amontillado...see the Prado
Far away . . . Mandalay . . . Old Cathay

Coliseum…
Where a gigolo with a boutonniere runs a slimy hand through his greasy hair
British Museum…
Where a scholar sits and reads all day ‘til he's blown to bits by the IRA
Arc de Triomphe…
Where Parisians sneer while the tourists pay for a chic coiffure and a fake Monet

Chorus:
Far away . . . Mandalay . . . Old Cathay
Whaddya know! Every place that you go has the same human race - oh no!
There's a beggar here, there's a mugger there calculating what you owe him
From the shores of Montezuma to the sands of Nice
I've heard an ugly rumor: Better pack a piece!

Sacred Ganges…
Where a palsied fakir sits on a mat and they drop like flies and they breed like rats
Tokyo Ginza…
Where the crowd's so packed when you take a stroll, you feel like fish in a sushi roll
Wall of China…
Where China dolls in coats of blue Are deciding how to re-educate you

Chorus:
Far away . . . Mandalay . . . Old Cathay

The Fibonaccis image

The Fibonaccis Los Angeles, California

Welcome to The Fibonaccis official Bandcamp page. The band rose from the early-'80s Los Angeles art punk scene and drew from a wide range of ideas and influences. It was active until 1988, with a brief exhumation and CD retrospective in 1992. The name comes from Leonardo Fibonacci, the 14th century Italian mathematician from Pisa.
