lyrics

We belong in the zoo,
Grubby little faces on the cold glass looking through,
Seeing what we might do,
They cheer for performances but no sound fills our room,
Silently we sigh and start grooming each other to calm each other down,
And that's enough for us...It seems

Love belongs in a cage,
Grubby little fingers on the locks won't get their way,
Dangerous and so crazed,
pacing back and forth to try and find some breathing space,
We huddle together and we weather the storm with our bodies warm and proud.
And that's enough, that's enough for us.

And we're on display so we live with our coats on,
If they had their way we'd sleep with the lights on;
If we sleep with the lights I could see your face...

I know,
Everyone wants a piece,
Nature's best creation is the source of jealousy, interference and grief,
Lust and satisfaction look so sweet,

They can look but they can't touch, look but they can't touch,
All those fiends,
They can look but they can't touch look but they can't touch,
Trust in me,

They can look but they can't touch, look but they can't touch,
Look but they can't touch what they see.
'Cos this love belongs to you and me
