I think the zookeeper is the girl he is questioning, and he is her boy...
he's gone away to the city and he cant make it back to her because the "storm" = complications, whatever they may be, as well as the "cars" in his way cause people carry on like any other day.
Also, "the chain on my swing is squeeking like a mouse" = fear, and that the chain between them maybe in danger of beng cut off...permanently, so it sounds like he's asking her urgently will she be his.
I agree, that being she is the zookeeper, he compares her to the giraffe and ostrich tall and confident with her head in the clouds but as soon as trouble comes she hides her head.
i think he IS talking about being "submersible" if you will in her...haha...talking about how being submersed in her is great actually..and he's asking with her head in the clouds do they kiss her like he does, nd' he answers for her he thinks they dont.
so again he asks is she his lady?
apparently, she is leaving to...or fleeing if you will...from what? oh i dunno mayhaps him, her feelings, fear in general? or moving away or has dreams of big things of which may or may not be including our dear boy.
so he's telling her how dare you, and she's got her head in the clouds nd' head in the sand scared.
so in the end verse...he is basiclly asking her one last time will she be his lady and him her boy, the complications keep falling like the rain and time grows wider nd' keeps moving like the cars and people in them, he cant be seen with her maybe meaning he cant go with her or they seem like an oddly pair?
"working half the time and looking fine in cars re-made"
they will both be busy people moving on with new lives going in different directions like these people in those cars that keep going.
there's an urgency when he says "are you my lady? are you?" he is basicly asking the zookeeper if she'll keep him. if she'll accept her feelings and his before its too late.
maybe? i dunno, im in a situation where this song is exactly that to a T, so it makes sence to me that way.
Unfortunately for both of us, He's moved to The City- Literally and I? i'm goin' to a different country. So i guess the answer is no.
