[Silence]
\n[Instrumental Intro: funky psychedelic bass, clipped guitar, Farfisa organ, handclaps, loose drums]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nWhat are we chasing?
\n(What is the pursuit?)
\nSomething elusive
\n(Calling it zoot)<\/p>\n
Round and around
\n(We go)
\nLooking for answers
\n(… does anybody know?)<\/p>\n
Too much!
\n(Too little!)
\nToo far!
\n(Too brittle!)<\/p>\n
Somewhere between it all
\n(There’s a middle)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nOne side says
\n(Go all the way!)
\nThe other side says
\n(Stay where you stay!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn pursuit
\n(Of zoot)
\nExaggerated<\/p>\n
An acute
\n(Destitute)
\nExasperated<\/p>\n
Both ends of the spectrum
\n(Extreme lean freedom)
\nMeet me in the middle
\n(To solve the riddle)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nKnow the answer
\n(Is not extreme)
\nThe reality
\n(Is somewhere between)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn pursuit
\n(Of zoot)
\nExaggerated<\/p>\n
An acute
\n(Destitute)
\nExasperated<\/p>\n
Both ends of the spectrum
\n(Extreme lean freedom)
\nMeet me in the middle
\n(To solve the riddle)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nCome on over
\n(Just a little)
\nTake a breath
\n(Meet me in the middle)<\/p>\n
You bring your answer
\n(I’ll bring mine)
\nMaybe together
\n(We’ll define time)<\/p>\n
[Break]
\nZoot!
\n(Does it suit?)<\/p>\n
Root, root, root
\n(Zoot!)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental: psychedelic guitar solo, funky bass, organ stabs, rhythmic vocal chants]<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nIn pursuit
\n(Of zoot)
\nExaggerated<\/p>\n
An acute
\n(Destitute)
\nExasperated<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nBoth ends of the spectrum
\n(Extreme lean freedom)
\nMeet me in the middle
\n(To solve the riddle)<\/p>\n
Zoot…
\n(At the root)<\/p>\n
[Fade out]
\nZoot, zoot, zoot<\/p>\n
[Silence]
\n[End]<\/p>\n
