lyrics

The night was dark and stormy and I had no weapon on me
I was driving by my lonely when my homey tried to call me
But I didn’t have reception so his call got no connection
Had I paid it more attention, I’d had learned the dead had risen
Their mission, open season on this human flesh
The walking dead they can’t rest until their hungers fed
And me, I’m stuck here in my car
Broken down by the road
Gonna walk through the park
Pray to God I get home

(Chorus)
1 footstep, 2 footsteps, 3 footsteps, I hear someone coming
4 footsteps, 5 footsteps, 6 footsteps, I better get to running
7 footsteps, 8 footsteps, 9 footsteps, something’s creeping up beside me
10 footsteps, 11 footsteps, 12 footsteps, the horror’s right behind me

There’s a maniac a-stalking, he’s walking weird and he’s talking
To himself, mumbling under his breath, someone’s gonna get killed
Satanic verses for certain, taken for granted since birth and
Rejected by the few love ones who used to love him, they shun him
Want nothing to do with him now, they through with him now
So he wears a mask to hide the pain of the past
And me, I’m just strolling through town
I need to use someone’s phone
I’m being followed around
This guy won’t leave me alone

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Don't come out tonight
Don't turn on your light
Don't open your eyes
If you want to hide

My dreams have all been haunted, I’m taunted by guys with claws in ‘em
Causing nightmares in volumes, I wake up feeling nausea
The zombies, they keep appearing
This small town is gripped in fear and
The government keeps on swearing they'll help but they don’t come near it
The town is under lock down
Quarantine the entire block down
The zombies, they can’t be shot down
The only hope that we got now
Is me, but I’m up here in this room
Locked up in this cage
I hope that he’ll free me soon
I haven’t eaten for days.

(Chorus)
