City Zoo

City Zoo
No begging for mercy to a Mercedes
Been to hell n danced in Hades
Came right back through the wall in a delivery room
In a dark old street in Glasgow
With a chip shop and a Haddows God
Pointed out the route and said I’ll see you soon

The danger gone after the first time that I saw you
I was waiting by the pond in the city Zoo
But alas you couldn’t find me though I waited oh so kindly
I know you’ll find me someday when I find you

Now I’m back just over thirty
With some water if you’re thirsty
Don’t follow what don’t make you happy friend
If you’re sick and tired of working
Sick of laughing talking loving
Join the road with me and I’ll get you to the end

Of this game of 2 potatoes
That I need to play to save all
Of myself in this valley full of dolls
I don’t worry not at all
So when you hear ma old drawl
Won’t you join me love and we’ll go have a ball

I take the wind
Precious as a sunray, pretty like a diamond ring
You’re a star in the moonlit sky, a cloud so high n flying by
You help me get to the light

When I find you, you’ll find me

Of suns overlooking a new world
This is mine not lost or hurt
But love like a free flying bird
And take me with you soon my love
Teach me to be true
Aww in the City Zoo

Teach me to be true – in the City Zoo
In the Zoo, in the city, in the city, in the city, in the city zoo
