lyrics

The structure was secured by animals
Steaming and staring with gears spinning wild
Pacing the grounds with the “plink! plink!” dialed
Metallic tooth chomp and a gorilla monkey romp
Inquiring slack jawed slider
Splitting and hissing “who’s next?”

The dove “coo-woo-ed” on the lamp post
With feathered paws a-pointing
To the coo-coo cat’s bell ring
Ah, rusted oars break against the cliff face
Hold back, we smell your trace

(Chorus)
Sound the bells, run like hell
The zoo has been set loose
Flee this town, you filthy frown
it’s the zoo of no return
The Zoo of No Return

The lion spat sparks with each step
Prowling and growling, “I’m King! Fear my wrath!
It’s your friend the Jagarnath!”
Now cry to the sticky black wind
Hold tight to the shakey breaky earth
For the night has eyes but hears not well
The sound of a lifeless shell

(Chorus)
Sound the bells, run like hell
The zoo has been set loose
Flee this town, you filthy frown
it’s the zoo of no return
The Zoo of No Return

What a spectical! A spectical! A spectical is this - they cried
Ooh ooh woo ooh oo....

(Chorus)
Sound the bells, run like hell
The zoo has been set loose
Flee this town, you filthy frown
it’s the zoo of no return
The Zoo of No Return
