[Verse 1]
I have this dream
That reoccurs
The closer that I get to it
The more the mirror blurs
Its not so much a nightmare
But a sign
To loosen up my grip, let go
The water of the mind

[Pre-Chorus]
They put us in the nosebleeds
And I know there's still so much to see
And God knows
I don't want to lose my naivety

[Chorus]
It's a hell of a zoo
It's a hell of a time
To be alive
It's a hell of a zoo
It′s a hell of a time
To be alive

[Verse 2]
And I don′t wanna feel jaded
Anymore
Resentments no protection
From the pain that I ignore
All is borrowed, a life on loan
We're really just a visitor
In someone else's home
[Pre-Chorus]
So take me to the nosebleeds
And tell me there's so much to see
And God knows
I don't wanna lose my humanity

[Chorus]
It's a hell of a zoo
It′s a hell of a time
To be alive
It's a hell of a zoo
It's a hell of a time
To be alive

[Bridge]
Let this life have you, darling
Let it break your heart in two
Feel the freedom in the lift
No one asked you to exist

[Chorus]
It's a hell of a zoo
It's a hell of a time
To be alive
It's a hell of a zoo
It′s a hell of a time
To be alive
