| Lyrics: | I am a scientist on a search for the cure Nobody knows, nobody knows What I’m doing down below It took all that I had, kept my mom and my dad I’ve learned a lot, a lot since then Now I’m on the path again There’s some people out there saying I’ve lost my marbles, I’ve lost my reason I tell you fellas, I’ve got a feeling That you’re overdue for the cure, yeah I like my vodka with whiskey and gin Red light green light, green light red light The cure will do you in (spoke) I had a dream I was naked in school Vaseline on the floor Couldn’t take it no more Slid into the science project Hit the radiation spill button Oh carnage! Oh spite! I will never make varsity You know you’re not safe When your race came from apes Look at King Kong, he died in vain But he was not insane You can never say never When you’re searching For the solution to man’s condition I wrote the bible, the science edition And your fake god is not based on fact, yeah |

Zoo Pilot is a newly formed indie rock band based in Austin, TX. Comprised of former members of Sleep Station (Eyeball Records), Zoo Pilot combines the classic sounds of bands like the Beatles, Kinks and Zombies with modern indie-rock sensibilities to create a unique, timeless sound.
With Brad Paxton handling vocals and guitar and Josh Nichols on bass and drums, the group looks forward to bringing their diverse sound and often left-of-center lyrical themes to the many music fans of Austin and beyond.
They have lent their compositional and production talents to a number of television shows, including CBS's Cold Case, American Idol Rewind and the Showtime series Shameless. They record and mix their songs at Brad's home studio in South Austin.
