Another slow.robot one...I had the lyric 'this lullaby of yours/this mummified old corpse' as a scratch vocal in the first draft, and just developed the rest of the song from there. It's dumb.

lyrics

This lullaby of yours
This mummified old corpse
Somehow rots but never dies

This lullaby of yours
This mummified old corpse
Somehow dead but it revives

It always needs a drink
This desiccated corpse
Subsists on vinegar and wine
(And us)

Picked at my sea scabs with their fingernails
They ate our brains and our entrails
We went to war against the parasites
But we were no match for their appetites

Beats me, baby
They're eating babies
Seems a little much to me
(But that's the world we live in these days)

Beats me, baby
They've all got rabies
Seems a little strange to me
(That's just the world we live in these days)

This lullaby of ours
This mummified old corpse
Somehow rots but never dies

It always needs a drink
This desiccated corpse

It's already…
Gait's unsteady
Foggy thoughts
Abound
Mind is fading
Feel like pacing
Circle, circle
'Round
Stomach rumbling
Not for pizza
I don't want a slice
No spaghetti
Noodles, though, 'cause
Brains are what I'd like

We went to war against the parasites
But we were no match for their appetites
And now I'm hungry for a different meal
You're running from me now
You're running from me now

Beats me, baby
They're eating babies
Seems a little much to me
(But that's the world we live in these days)

Beats me, baby
They're giving rabies
Seems a little much to me
(That's just the world we live in these days)

Groan (zombie sounds)
Groan (and zombie noises too)
Groan (zombie sounds)
Groan (and zombie noises too)

Beats me, baby
They're eating babies
Seems a little much to me
(But that's the world we live in these days)

Beats me, baby
They've all got rabies
Seems a little strange to me
(That's just the world we live in these days)
