Song: Ode to High Heels.

Feb 04, 2008 11:12

I think there has to be a law
That says the outbreak always starts
When you declare it's time for bed
And take off all your clothes.
My peignoir has one fatal flaw --
It barely hides the tender parts.
I'm like a billboard for the dead:
A snack in lace and bows.

My boyfriend, he's got jeans and more,
He's wearing shoes without high heels;
I have to say, this isn't fair,
And I don't think it's right.
We've all been drenched in blood and gore,
And though a shower sure appeals,
If I should stop to wash my hair,
I won't survive the night.

Zombies sure must have a rotten sense of humor,
        Or else they're undead perverts, one and all.
        They sure do like to chase half-naked women through the twilight --
        Tack on high heels, and those bastards have a ball.

I'm half-alive and barely draped
In tatters that pretend to be
The secret that Victoria's
Been keeping close to hand.
I don't quite know how we escaped;
We didn't do it easily.
Subscribers of 'Fangoria'
Might better understand.

Those undead bastards better run,
I've coped with way too much tonight,
And horror movies tell us
Lingerie can teach kung-fu.
Lacy undies help you shoot a gun,
And high heels mean that you can fight;
There's nothing that a corset plus
Some fishnets doesn't do!

Zombies sure must have a rotten sense of humor,
        Or else they're undead perverts, one and all.
        They sure do like to chase half-naked women through the twilight --
        Tack on high heels, and those bastards have a ball.

I don't want to be the victim,
                I don't want to die in lace,
                So I guess it's time to turn around,
                And re-invent the chase!

So just hand me that chainsaw,
And some lip gloss, if you would;
They'll never know what hit 'em,
And I don't think that I care.
It's horror movie martial law:
Half-naked girls are tools for good.
Hey, lover boys, come get some!
...should have never touched my hair.
