Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave Now the keeper's trying to cool me says I'm bound to be alright But I know that he can't fool me 'cause I'm putting him uptight And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight 'Cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the night Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
