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
