Versions

This is the only known version. It is fairly minimalist, dominated by soft synths and quiet motorik beats, evoking a slight Kraftwerk vibe. Reznor's vocals for the majority of the song are very soft and low. Layered backing vocals pad out the choruses.

Live

"Zoo Station" has never been played live.

Lyrics

   I'm ready
   I'm ready for the laughing gas
   I'm ready
   I'm ready for what's next
   I'm ready to duck
   I'm ready to dive
   I'm ready to say
   I'm glad to be alive
   I'm ready
   I'm ready for the push

   In the cool of the night
   In the warmth of the breeze
   I'll be crawling around
   On my hands and knees

   Zoo Station
   Zoo Station

   I'm ready
   I'm ready for the gridlock
   I'm ready
   To take it to the street
   I'm ready for the shuffle
   Ready for the deal
   Ready to let go of the steering wheel
   I'm ready
   Ready for the crush

   Zoo Station
   Zoo Station

   Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
   It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

   Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
   It's alright, it's alright

   Alright, you can turn it up

   Time is a train
   Makes the future the past
   Leaves you standing in the station
   Your face pressed up against the glass

   Zoo Station
