Lyrics
The Walking Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's that mechanical motion
Skin-tight when the nights are bloodless
Lip-sync the latest notion
From zombie drill instructors
Throw out of all the parties
Maybe it's time for me to bed
Now his eyeball's runnin'
Just like a razor down her leg
[Chorus:]
Baby's joined the walking dead
Up from her grave
Another white slave
Nothin' goes in or out of her head
Never you mind
Tryin' to find
A real live girl in your bed
She's joined the walking dead
She likes this frenzy feeding
She cuts across the dance floor
Thinks she's the only one bleeding
He cuts his teeth on girls like her
Just a little more makeup
'Til she makes up for being used
He hardly knows what he's saying
She hardly knows how to refuse
[Chorus]
She's walking
With his eyes in your head
With his tongue in your bed
And your lips are swollen red
From the kiss of the walking dead
[Chorus]
