[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: funky psychedelic bass, clipped guitar, Farfisa organ, handclaps, loose drums]
[Intro]
What are we chasing?
(What is the pursuit?)
Something elusive
(Calling it zoot)
Round and around
(We go)
Looking for answers
(… does anybody know?)
Too much!
(Too little!)
Too far!
(Too brittle!)
Somewhere between it all
(There’s a middle)
[Verse 1]
One side says
(Go all the way!)
The other side says
(Stay where you stay!)
[Refrain]
In pursuit
(Of zoot)
Exaggerated
An acute
(Destitute)
Exasperated
Both ends of the spectrum
(Extreme lean freedom)
Meet me in the middle
(To solve the riddle)
[Verse 2]
Know the answer
(Is not extreme)
The reality
(Is somewhere between)
[Refrain]
In pursuit
(Of zoot)
Exaggerated
An acute
(Destitute)
Exasperated
Both ends of the spectrum
(Extreme lean freedom)
Meet me in the middle
(To solve the riddle)
[Bridge]
Come on over
(Just a little)
Take a breath
(Meet me in the middle)
You bring your answer
(I’ll bring mine)
Maybe together
(We’ll define time)
[Break]
Zoot!
(Does it suit?)
Root, root, root
(Zoot!)
[Instrumental: psychedelic guitar solo, funky bass, organ stabs, rhythmic vocal chants]
[Final Refrain]
In pursuit
(Of zoot)
Exaggerated
An acute
(Destitute)
Exasperated
[Outro]
Both ends of the spectrum
(Extreme lean freedom)
Meet me in the middle
(To solve the riddle)
Zoot…
(At the root)
[Fade out]
Zoot, zoot, zoot
[Silence]
[End]
