Zookeeper's Boy Lyrics - And The Glass Handed Kites - Mew

Are you my lady, are you? 

If I don't make it back from the city 

Then it is only because I am drawn away 

For you see 

Evidently there's a dark storm come 

And the chain on my swing is squeeking like a mouse 

So are you my lady, are you? 

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down 

The cars remain 

You're tall just like a giraffe 

You have to climb to find its head 

But if there's a glitch 

You're an ostrich 

You've got your head in the sand 

In a submersible I can hardly breathe 

As it takes me inside, so the light sings 

Answer me truthfully 

Do the clouds kiss you 

With meringue-coloured hair 

I know they cannot 

So are you my lady, are you? 

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down 

The cars remain 

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness 

Zookeeper hear me out 

How dare you go? 

Cold in the rain 

Tall just like a giraffe 

You have to climb to find its head 

But if there's a glitch 

You're an ostrich 

You've got your head in the sand 

Are you my lady, are you? 

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down 

The cars remain 

I could not be seen with you 

Working half the time and looking fine 

In cars re-made
