Scorpions - The Zoo Meaning

Song Released: 1980

The Zoo Lyrics

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,...

   When I first heard this song it made me wonder if it was related to the movie Christiane F & heroin use/street life that was associated with Bahnof Zoo Station in Germany in the late 70s

   I felt sex
   I hear the thrill of the hunt
   I feel the kill
   I Enjoyed the Meal
   
   Almost a prefect vampire song would work well in a stalking sound track

   Its about life in the world. He gets off work, goes out with his girl and sees society as animals. Thus he is living his life in a zoo.
