Pet Store Lyrics

by Ed Harcourt

All the lizards stay static
While the mice turn their wheels all day
Even the fish don't feel aquatic
While the dogs are bored and pissing in dismay

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e64764-ed_harcourt~pet_store__lyrics.html ]
Ooh x2

Gonna break into the pet store
Unlock the cages like the motorcycle boy
Watch them hustle through the side door
Back home

I'll watch the zookeeper struggle
As he tries to feed the bears their lunch
I'll watch the sea lions juggle
While the kids eat burgers with their shoulders hunched

The animals are hatching plans
They're gonna trample every city in sight
That's why I just might be the man
To set them loose and let them slip into the night

Ooh

We're gonna slip into the pet store
Unlock the cages like the motorcycle boy
Watch them hustle through the side door
Back home

And when we break into that pet store
We'll put the goldfish in the mirror by a river
We'll place the turtles by the seashore
Back home

We're gonna break into the pet store (x3)
