If We Were Zombies

So Zombie movies are amongst my favorite horror movies (i know, who doesn't love zombies?) and admittedly i have been listening to way to many Jonathan Coulton songs (what do you mean you don't know who Jon Coulton is? WTF? Well its education time then, goto http://www.jonathancoulton.com and listen! You might recognize at least one of the songs. And you might understand where the influence came from). Anyway, I always said if i got back into making music again I'd want to be more like Jon. The other day the idea for this song hit me and therefore i had to write (those who write understand the "have to" part) it. So here are the lyrics as I have just completed them. Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome. OR reflections on your favorite zombie movies etc. are also welcome. Now i need to get out the guitar and figure out how the melody goes.

If We Were Zombies
J.P. Hunt
(Mar. 24th, 2010)

Lying here with you, your head resting on my arm
Watching as poor barbra is running through the graveyard
While you softly snore, I can't feel my arm no more
Meanwhile the dead are at the door just looking for a bite to eat
I look down at your pretty face, flex a finger I can't feel
As ghouls on the tv screen all seem to like their meal
It makes me kind of hungry so I gently seek relief
In the kitchen later while preparing my own feast
I find myself wondering what if you weren't really sleeping?

Images of living dead, plagues all part of government tests;
bloody grins, intestine slurping...
I quietly listen to hear your breathing... weeewh!

But this whole thing has got me thinking
how bad could it really be?
and could I shoot you in the head
if you were the living dead?

If you were a zombie - I think I'd love you anyway
I might even let you snack on me
Yea, I think I would
As long as you weren't the brain eating kind
To that I think I would probably mind
I'd have to protest the thought anyway
Assuming that I could

This morning when I woke up, I desperately had to pee
Except rule number two says stay away from the bathroom
Besides you beat me in there, I hope that you’re aware
That there’s no where to run if the undead are waiting
Then my love you’d end up a human Happy Meal
It makes my bladder ache so I go outside for relief
Mid-stream I fear being the living Kill of the Week
Somehow I survive, so I warily wander inside
Where I find myself wondering what if it were me instead?

Me among the living dead, gorging on italians;
Chinese, Soul, and Indian...
Is it true they all taste like chicken?.. sigh

But this whole thing has got me thinking
would I still be in love with you?
and could you shoot me in the head
If I were the living dead?

If I were a zombie - Would you love me anyway?
We could be an awesome zombie couple
The first in history
As long as we weren't the brain eating kind
To that I think I would probably mind
I'd have to protest the thought anyway
Assuming that I could

We could chase people up and down our street
Have a candle lit dinner on a fat guy named Pete
I could be your Fido and you could be my Kat
Necrophelia eachother, honey, I'd be down with that
Go hang out at the mall and sample all the fooda
Maybe even have a baby like Andre and Luda

If you were a zombie - I think I'd love you anyway
I might even let you make a snack of me
Yea, I think I would
As long as you weren't the brain eating kind
To that I think I would probably mind
I'd have to protest the thought anyway
Assuming that I could
If I were a zombie - Would you love me anyway?
We could be an awesome zombie couple
The first in history
As long as we weren't the brain eating kind
To that I think I would probably mind
I'd have to protest the thought anyway
Assuming that I could
