Pet Store

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 

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 sealions 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)
