The Birthday Party Lyrics

"Zoo-Music Girl"

Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl

Our life together is a hollow tooth
Spit out the shells, spit out the shells
You know exactly what we're talking about
Don't drag your orchestra into this thing
Just rattle your sticks, rattle your sticks
The sound is beautiful, it's perfect
The sound of her young legs in stockings
Rhythm of the walk, it's beautiful
Just let it twist, let it break
Let it buckle, let it bend
I wanna hear the noise of my...

Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl

My body is a monster driven insane
My heart is a fish toasted in flame
I kiss the hem of her skirt
My life is a box full of dirt
We spend our life in a box full of dirt
I murder her dress 'til hurts
If there's one thing I desire in this world
And that's to make love to my...

Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl

The sound is beautiful, it's perfect
I call out her name in the night
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
I call her by her family name
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Oh God, please let me die beneath her fists
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl

Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
Zoo-music girl, zoo-music girl
