panther at the zoo

the panther at the zoo is making me blue

'cause i'm just like him

i want to tear off your skin

and go stalking down the avenues

the escalator rolls by

the broker starts to cry

'cause it's so damn beautiful

but it's quite unusual

to see your dreams cast in a machine

some things you can't always have

but i've always wanted you so bad

the game show contestant is breaking down and sweating

they're all laughing at him

they don't want the boy to win

and your handsome host

is laughing the most

the panther at the zoo always makes me blue
