  • The job is done and 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 42nd Street
    You want to 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
