Zombie

Lo, she's seas apart from me

Possessed behind the eyes

And apart from the frightening, the moaning, the biting

He seemed to be a nice guy

And I know what she thinks when she looks at me

When she looks with such despair

Well you're not the only one around here

Who needs a bit of fresh air

'Cause I'm a sad sack post-teen caught up in the love machine

No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in the dirty rain

No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

Well, this old place here, man, it's falling apart

She's on the road as she goes but she won't get far

I'm on a show to parole to the toad in the hole

I gotta grow some roots, gotta prop up the bar

I got bloodshot eyes and there's blood in my teeth

I got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief

Well, I'm a-frothing at the mouth, tryna pull it out

But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out

'Cause I'm a sad sack post-teen caught up in the love machine

No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in the dirty rain

No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

Hold your own in the situation

Don't be afraid to be a friend

'Cause I won't hurt you, girl, or leave you a loose end

You make me alive enough to love again

'Cause I'm a sad sack post-teen caught up in the love machine

No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in the dirty rain

No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

'Cause I'm a sad sack post-teen caught up in the love machine

No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in the dirty rain

No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie, like a zombie

Like a zombie

Like a zombie

Like a zombie

Like a zombie

But she's a howler

Or even got signed before my father

Zombie

I been losin' her mind

Zombie
