Welcome To The Zoo Lyrics & Chords By The Pedestrians

WELCOME TO THE ZOO (Music: Reineke, Neufer/Lyrics: Reineke)

When you close your eyes, do you see lightning flashing out across your brain?
Do you see raindrops the size of baseballs rebounding off of everything?
Do you see thousands of people sitting all eating from one piece of bread?
Or do you hear the drums of war echoing in your head?

When you found out that we were calling, did you stumble or did you fall?
Were you nervous, were your walls crumbling?
Or were you even scared at all?
Will you listen to the ceaseless creaking, the voice of doubt inside your mind?
Or will you set out on your own, taking what you find?

Welcome to the zoo
Welcome to your plain of existence
You showed up right on cue
We’ll have to ask you for your patience
But it’s so bright and new
You can blame it on the distance
We think you’ll like it
We hope you’ll like it

Did you know now that there are monsters, petrified and turned to stone?
And with millions of souls attending, sometimes you’ll feel all alone
Some find triumph in just outlasting
To win is just to stay alive
But there is more in store for you than simply to survive
