Blow the smoke right off the tube
Kiss my gentle burning bruise
I'm lost in time
To all the people left behind
you are walking dumb and blind, blind
And two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake
Dear all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie, lie down dead
Oh dead, Oh dead, Oh dead (C Am Em Em x4)
To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am I am I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie down dead ( end on em)
