[Verse 1]
Anonymous figures with animal heads
Are they human or are they quadrupeds?
Are they psychotics who have gone off their meds and away

[Chorus]
The 1989 Musical Marching Zoo
Are coming to play
Inside of your mind
The 1989 Musical Marching Zoo
Are coming to stay
Don't be left behind

[Verse 2]
And this is the band that I wanted to be
No names and faces and no history
Particularly no pictures of me

[Chorus]
The 1989 Musical Marching Zoo
Are coming to play
Inside of your mind
The 1989 Musical Marching Zoo
Are coming to stay
Don't be left behind
[Verse 3]
If only musicians were invisible
Or, like the Residents, identical
Sod MTV, show me a tractor pull
And the 1989 Musical Marching Zoo
