Zoo'd Out

               All the bright young things are talking
               Showing off their wings and squawking
               Playing games and singing dirges
               All in circles at the zoo

               Pupil with the frigid eyes
               Is pouring out the liquor prizes
               Shrieking from inside my head
               And all in cages at the zoo

               You cruel zoo, you
               Cruel zoo, you

               Each desire is chosen
               And provided courtesy the zoo
               See each face - each blind indulgence
               All in circles at the zoo

               They will lock you up with dogma
               You'll forget that it was there
               Everyone will be the same one
               All in cages at the zoo

               You cruel zoo, you
               Cruel zoo, you

               So beware of supervision
               Know your keeper
               And destroy him
               Change your mind until you find
               There's no more cages at the zoo

               You cruel zoo, you
               Cruel zoo, you

               You cruel zoo, you
               Cruel zoo, you

               You cruel zoo, you
               Cruel, cruel zoo


The song that got Strangelove together, after 'years of heart-sinking flakiness'.
