Song Lyrics

Zoo time is 'she and you' time
The mammals are your favorite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near, do not show any fear
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein
Just like you do

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Choosing, the girl is choosing
Between the man who's [Incomprehensible] is you
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
There is a [Incomprehensible]

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

This town ain't big enough
This town ain't big enough
This town ain't big enough
This town ain't big enough
This town ain't big enough
This town ain't big enough

Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go around
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that

This town isn't big enough, not big enough for the both of us
This town isn't big enough, not big enough for the both of us
I ain't gonna leave
