• The job is done, I go out
  Another boring day
  I leave it all behind me now
  So many worlds away
  
  I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
  And all we gonna do
  Is walk around, to catch the thrill
  On streets we call the zoo
  
  We eat the night, we drink the time
  Make our dreams come true
  And hungry eyes, are passing by
  On streets we call the zoo
  
  We eat the night, we drink the time
  Make our dreams come true
  And hungry eyes, are passing by
  On streets we call the zoo
  
  Enjoy the zoo and walk down
  Forty-second Street
  You gonna be excited, too
  And you will feel the heat
  
  We eat the night, we drink the time
  Make our dreams come true
  And hungry eyes, are passing by
  On streets we call the zoo
  
  We eat the night, we drink the time
  Make our dreams come true
  And hungry eyes, are passing by
  On streets we call the zoo Writer/s: Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker

• Elliot from SeattleNevermind the blonde (well, try to anyway)... Really though; I'm all about the thicker brunette who is over toward the left side in the center row. There's another brunette (center row, right side) who ain't to bad either, but the one wearing the long sleeves is definitely my favorite of the bunch.
• Nikolai from MoscowThis song is so bad ass! I feel like an apocalypse movie fight could happen to this
• Mike from KitchenerWho is that crazy beautiful blond in the cut off Jean shorts
• Dane from Lima,ohio, FlA killer headphone song.There's so much to hear.The guitar players really shine here.Very heavy.I always thought Animal Magnetism was their best album.
• Maria from Hawthorne, Cai absolutely love this song to death
  the riff is awesome
• Don from San Antonio, TxTry this on a compilation tape: The Zoo, Animal Magnetism (song), China White (Blackout).
