The Zookeeper's Boy Songtext
von Mew

Are you my lady, are you?
If I don′t make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away
For you see
Evidently there's a dark storm coming
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse
So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain
You′re tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You′ve got your head in the sand
In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully
Do the clouds kiss you?


With meringue-coloured hair
I know they cannot
So are you my lady, are you?
Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain
Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there′s a glitch
You're an ostrich
You′ve got your head in the sand
Are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain
I could not be seen with you
Working half the time and looking fine
In cars re-made
