Adrian Belew - Hot Zoo Lyrics

Pay Here
chimpanzee
Don't Park
under the aviary
walk through heatwave afternoon fast food hot zoo

Do the shuffle to the buffalo
see the mad monkey by the lonely pay phone
let's go fishin' in the air conditioned dark
man, look at the bite on that great big bark

Waste Here
souvenir land
Don't Feed
nobody your hand
rest room photograph pachyderm cat house hot zoo

Three sleepy zebra in their living room suits
joke with a crazy cockatoo
big giraffe in their injured party hats say
"Are you gonna watch our customary nap?"

Eat Here
a dinosaur egg
Don't Touch
the tarantula legs
march like army ants itchin' for a PX
hot zoo

I dig iguana in their outer space duds
sayin' "Aren't you glad we only eat bugs?"
closing time, quick! close those gates
capture a few of these human apes

Exit Here
kangaroo
Don't Forget
to come back soon
