Street by the Zoo

Little Miss Sunshine she can't wrap her mind around it
That he'd wrap her up in blankets
Just to ask if she could make it down by his way
And Mr. Brightside holds the right side of the mattress
Holds the flipside of the pillow like a gun
To his mildly depressed head

And all the animals they've wandered off the pages
Tomorrow, Eve will come in pears and apples,
Sage is fine too
They'll bar the gates in flame
Your grave will hold your only food through
All that remains are ruins
Hidden in the street by the zoo

Here the writer sits and fiddles with his fingers
Sits and whittles away hours in the door
As he wishes she had more
(More, more, more)
And there she goes now,
Oh but they will always know how
How they wished for her to stay now they are far
Far away and torn apart
(Apart, apart, apart, apart, apart)

And all the animals they've wandered off the pages
Tomorrow, Eve will come with pears and apples
Sage is fine too
They'll bar the gates in flame
Your grave will hold your only food through
All that remains are ruins
Hidden in the street by the zoo

Life is cruel but I am fine
'cause I have love and she has mine
Many times the dark will rise
But let her light shine, be my guide
Someday soon if we should fall
We wouldn't care one bit at all
She'll see me through it all

And all the animals they've wandered off the pages
Tomorrow eve will come with pears and apples

Screw the story that they wrote for us,
We'll live our lives out loud
Screw the ones who won't be good to us,
Who cares if they're not proud
Someday soon if we should fall
We wouldn't care one bit at all
She'll see me through it all

I'll see her through it all
She'll see me through it all
I'll see her through it all
She'll see me through it all
(Everybody)
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all (one, two, three, four)

We know time isn't kind
Say you're mine, we'll live our lives out loud
Seasons rise, seasons fall
Stormy skies, but we'll see it through it all
We know time isn't kind
Say you're mine, we'll live our lives out loud
Seasons rise, seasons fall
Stormy skies, but we'll see it through it all
We'll see it through it all
