[Intro]
Midnight
Gates creak
Keeper lost
Keys leak (hah)
[Verse 1]
He said, “Step in
Tours start late”
Rust on the fence
Blood on the gate
Monkey in a tux
Snake in a veil
Tiger on a leash
Chewing on a tail (yeah)
Keepers in a circle
Eyes all black
One starts laughing
“Hope you brought a snack”
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cursed zoo
What you think these creatures do?
Every cage a bad cartoon
Every moon a big miscue
Laugh ‘til the laughter snaps
Claws in the candy wrap
You paid for a harmless view
You got midnight at the cursed zoo (woo)
[Verse 2]
She said, “Pick a path
Left or right”
Left got fangs
Right got spite
Penguin with a lighter
Koala with a shiv
Panda on a IV drip
Says, “I barely live” (help me)
Janitor’s mop
Dripping thick red
He hums a love song
To the severed head
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cursed zoo
What you think these creatures do?
Every cage a bad cartoon
Every moon a big miscue
Laugh ‘til the laughter snaps
Claws in the candy wrap
You paid for a harmless view
You got midnight at the cursed zoo (midnight)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to just bells and bass]
Docent whispers, “Make a wish”
Fountain full of something fishy
Statue eyes begin to twitch
Every stuffed toy watching itchy
Footsteps, footstep, four then two
Something walking next to you (right there)
If you run, they run in tune
If you stay, they sing for you (sing for you)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cursed zoo
What you think these creatures do?
Every cage a bad cartoon
Every moon a big miscue
Laugh ‘til the laughter snaps
Claws in the candy wrap
You paid for a harmless view
You got midnight at the cursed zoo (cursed zoo)
You got midnight at the cursed zoo (hah)
