The Zoo
The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away
I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Enjoy the zoo
And walk down 42nd Street
You wanna be excited too
And you will feel the heat
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
And walk down 42nd Street
You wanna be excited too
And you will feel the heat
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

Scorpions most underrated song
a night out in a wild city
I always thought he was talking about N.Y.C....42nd street...
Klaus is and will always be a steward of our home. The Zoo is about the streets. But only he and Michael will actually be able to share the true meaning.
I was looking the meaning from this other song by a German band: "Big In Japan" by Alphaville, and "The zoo" is also referenced there as it was a common place to find drugs in Berlin, filled with junkies and obviously everything that comes with such a place (prostitution, illegal activities and so on)...
Being Scorpions german, probably The Zoo is refering exactly to that place, as in after a week of work you will go to the zoo to do some drugs, get a girl and have a wild night out there.
Just to add up.
It is "zoo" station in Berlin, the place were all the junkies were.
